We Made It!

Sure enough, US-50 does have an eastern end.  We are here in Ocean City Maryland.

So, the namesake portion of our great adventure has concluded.  And quite successfully, at that.

And, sure enough, the sign in West Sacramento does have a counterpart here in Ocean City.

We drove in today from Washington, DC, arriving around 2:00 PM.

This town is pretty much everything we were told that it would be.  Beachy, touristy, rather tacky in places, lots of people, and dozens of T-shirt shops.  It is much like the Santa Cruz boardwalk, except that it is larger by, let's say, 12 to 1.

We conducted a ceremonial wetting of our feet in the Atlantic Ocean.  The Atlantic is warmer than the Pacific.

The sun went down a short while ago, and, strangely enough, it did not set over the ocean.  Quite the opposite, actually.  It set on the bay, which is on the other side of the peninsula from the ocean.

Miles today = 148

Miles on US-50 today = 148.  We are (obviously) 100% of the way to Ocean City, MD.

TO = 3295.

Chronologically measured, our road trip is exactly 1/3 over, as of tonight.

FAIR WARNING:  Likely no blog tomorrow evening.  The plan for the day is quite ambitious.  A long drive, with a visit to the Flight 93 memorial.

Then, if the good Lord is willing, and the creek don't rise, we'll end in suburban Pittsburgh, with an evening out at the Pirates game.  No Dodgers to root for, and therefore, Go Bucs!
