...course--you sort of want to aim for the outside edge of the center arch and turn sharply right before you enter the bridge. Watch out, if you've done it right you'll just miss losing some paint off your port blades on the inside of the arch. Gulp, swallow. But, hey, you're halfway there...
Jimmy Carter and his wife and his mother-in-law began in the early morning of last Thursday, and by dusk they had been from Gulp's Hill at Gettysburg (also stopping not far from the battlefield for a friendly visit at the home of Mamie Eisenhower) to the site of John Brown's raid at Harpers Ferry.
