The Sideling Hill Road Cut on Interstate 68 and US 40 in Western Maryland, is a 340 foot deep notch excavated from the ridge of Sideling Hill. It is notable as an impressive man-made mountain pass, visible from miles away, and is considered to be one of the best rock exposures in Maryland and the entire northeastern United States. This is the bridge that runs over the highway.

The Historic Montpelier Train Station
“On the winding roads of Route 20 in Orange County, Virginia stands a century-old train depot, home to the local Montpelier Station, Virginia post office. On February 21, 2010, it became the home of James Madison’s Montpelier’s newest exhibit— The Montpelier Train Depot: In the Time of Segregation. In 2008, the Montpelier Foundation undertook a one-year renovation of the Depot. They restored the Depot to the way it was in the 1910s in order to document a time of legalized segregation in Virginia and throughout the United States”
The buzzer sounded, the people left, and all that remained were rows and rows of empty seats.
It was getting a bit dark for me to be out on the trail by myself … but then I saw this and knew that I was there at the right time. Thank goodness I was using my cell phone to track my mileage!
Nothin’ like a sunset on the Chesapeake Bay. Contentment!
