[Scan-DC] DC'S HIGH POINT!

[oldsdoug at hotmail.com]

Reminds me of a couple of things - one, a high school buddy of mine who left the area years ago, came back to DC and forgot his way around... he remembered that if he went uphill, he'd be able to find his way back out to Montgomery County!

Another high spot, just outside of DC, is in Fort Lincoln Cemetery in Brentwood - Ft. Lincoln is bordered by Eastern Ave.  My dad passed away at the end of Feb and is interred there - the cemetery is quite hilly and when I went out there to make arrangements, the guy told me that the high spot in the cemetery, where the old chapel is, is one of the highest spots around... will have to Google map it...

> Cute - I've been going there literally since before I was born - our family doctor lived right there at Reno Road and Chevy Chase Parkway, maybe a block away. Will have to get on Google maps and find out how this compares in elevation with a couple of other spots, like Mt. Saint Alban's and Hillwood, the Marjorie Merriweather Post estate on Linnean Ave near UDC.
