Last Day in Washington DC. Went to Arlington Cemetery to visit the Tomb of the Unknown. Was lucky to watch the change of the guards. Very solemn and nice ceremony.

My best drive on Tail of the Dragon. I hope I can meet this guy again and thank him.
I asked a guy with a Jeep and he refused to allow me to put my GoPro on his car. I do not blame him. Not everybody wants to do that for someone else. But I turned to this other random stranger on his bike and...
