High Ground and the Creek

Northwest Washington above the fall line, where the city becomes a wooded valley with forts along the ridges. A full day with a car, or a long day of buses: a cathedral garden, the highest ground in the District, a working mill, a stone bridge and the one place a Confederate army reached.

Earned in the field. You can't buy this one.
