the motorist into Jamestown. Both OF
THESE towns are on a direct line and all
one has to do Is to follow the pike.
In fact. this may be said OF the re-
manner OF the trip to Gaithersburg. as
IT Is all macadam. and while sections OF
IT are now being repaired to some ex-
tent by reason OF the heavy service
which this thoroughfare has seen In the

up again farther down the road
After getting on the macadam again
it is never left until the concrete streets
OF the National Capital are reached.
This section Of the road from Gathers
burg to Rockville is likewise of re-
every motorist who has the oppor-
tunity to pass over it. 1t hasn't been
many years back when motorists were
afraid to venture over sections of this
road after a rain, as 1t was seldom
that one ever got through without be-
ing mired. Now conditions are changed
and, rainy or clear, the road Is al
ways in excellent condition for tour
ing. After leaving Gaithersburg
comes the county seat of Montgomery
county, Rockville, which was passed
through on the first stages OF the trip
just described. The remainder of the
1876 miles to the National Capital Is
over the same stretch OF road as on the
outward trip This portion of the trip
could also have been diversified by
coming in over the 7th street pike from
Rockville, via Norbeck, Wheaton and
Sligo. but as that pike at the present
time does not enjoy the distinction OF
having such smooth surface as the
new Rockville pike. the writer thought
that the latter would be prefer
able. However, the time is not far
distant when this pike will receive
new top dressing of macadam. and with
the adjustment of toligates last week
that road will divert considerable traffic
from the Rockville road and the motor
lists be given an opportunity to patronize
that section of Maryland. The ex-
istence Of tollgates on that thorough
fare. 1t Is said, has caused q large ma
jority of the motorists to desert It In
favor of the Rockville pike, which Is
minus them. Thus, on arriving home
the motorist will find that a trip Of
such length could hardly be found
which contains such a large portion OF
macadamized roadway as that just
described
with the mileage. is as follows:

at these points within the past two
years. Tollgates are likewise to be
found on this stretch OF road-in fact, all
the way to the Shenandoah river, where
a charge of 30 cents is made before per-
mission is granted to cross the bridge
which spans the river at Castlemans
Ferry. Back in the early days a ferry
line equipped with steel cable was
operated for the benefit of the tourists
and country folks. but the rapidly In
creasing business soon forced the con-
struction Of modern bridge to handle
the continuous traffic.
After crossing the ferry, however, the
motorist should take peep back in the
distance, for 1t is the last glance that
can be obtained of macadam highway

worst stretch Of road is now about to be
encountered for it Is, the ascent of the
steep mountain range in which is located
Smokers gap. which must be passed
through before Bluemont on the other
side can be reached. No, attempt at
speed should be made In making the
descent on the other side. for it is rough
and rugged and care should be exercised
at all times. After passing over the
range and Bluemont on the other side,
the dirt road is followed on through the
