The Return Trip.
The homeward bound trip was begun
at $50 o'clock and the route via Love
ville Morganza, Helen and Mechanics
VILE over the oiled state road. which
stops at Mechancsvilie. From there
northward the sand stretches were found
in bad shape to Charlotte Hall and
Hughesville. Turning to the left at
Hughesville we took the long route to
Bryantown, eliminating a considerable
amount of sand by doing So At
Bryantown we landed OIL the new gravel
roadway. which extends the entire dis
lance to Waldorf where we connected UP
with the La Plata road. We reached
Waldorf at 52J o'clock and had just
entered the La Plata road when three
inch nail went through the outer shoe
and two places in the inner tube, causing
US to halt for twenty minutes to make
tire change.
About two miles north of Waldorf we

returned on the 10 o'clock train from
Washington and after working for sew

rambled through the woods, ana AFTER
passing through several farms each OF
which were separated by gates. which
had to be opened before we could pro-
coed, we finally came out at Townsend,
Md 1t is also known as Osborne Sta
ton and is directly on the line OF the
Popes Creek railroad Crossing the
tracks at this point we continued a mile,
when we once more Joined the I. b. road
At the point where we turned to the
right into the T. B. road we found an
other blockade. which halts traffic bound
for La Plata. The detour is about four
miles in length
Turning to the left at 7. B. We soon
left the rough stretch behind u.s. and once
more striking the highway proceeded III
the direction of Washington. passing
through Clinton. Camp Springs. Silver
HILL Coop Hope and arriving in the Ma
tional Capital without any further tire
trouble or mishaps In spite of the slight
hardships which we underwent. the trip
for the week end proved an enjoyable
one. Eliminating the one-mile detour be-
tween Forestvilie and Centervlile on the
trip down, and the four-fnile detour be-
tween Waldorf and T. b. on the return
trip, the actual mileage of the run was
151.9 miles.
