Rolling Thunder


I just missed getting inside the mall barrier by 1 second. The parade was a loop around the mall so if you didn't get in before it started you were out of luck. Some official was closing it while I pulled up and I was the first person denied access. As soon as I turned away the lady let a few others go across. WTF? What kind of timing do I have? So I raced back past Arlington Cemetery, past the Marine Corps Memorial, through Rosslyn, on to the Mt Vernon trail, across the Roosevelt Bridge and to the mall. I missed it again but probably more like minutes. Some people were sneaking through the barrier and across the street. I decided to just chill with a Harley group under some tree cover. It was a long parade that went on for over an half hour. Lots of interesting bikes. I had a Harley expert near me calling out all the rare stuff.
