When I say 'mad skills', my kids tell me they don't say that anymore. LOL!
But they do still quote Napoleon Dynamite WRT nunchuck skills, bow hunting skills...
Nice! Reminded me of something in my photo album (see below). But, when I actually found the pictures, I realized that I ain't no photographer!!
Is that the place near Dulles Airport? If so, what's the quickest way there from 495 ... Dulles toll road or can I can the airport road to the airport to get there quicker?
Toll road to 28 South or 66 to 28 North depending on which way you are coming around the beltway.

If you take the airport road, you'll have to go into/out of the airport - unless there's major traffic on the toll road, that would probably end up taking longer. From 495, the quickest route is the toll road to 28 South. You could also take 66 to 28 North, but 66 is under major construction now, so the time of day would have a significant impact on your travels.
On either route, you can use HOV lanes with two or more people in the car.

Feels like every new road/lane that's built around here now is a "public/private partnership" that adds capacity with toll lanes. Tolls are determined by the traffic on the non-toll lanes. Higher when things are bad. In other words, price gouging.
Certain times during morning rush hour the toll on 66 from the beltway to DC is over $40.00.

I know this is off topic, but that's not just price gouging, that elitist. At those rates it's a road built for the rich.
If you do decide to come to Udvar-Hazy Air and Space Museum my shop is only a few miles away. If you like you can stop by and do a tasting.

When we had that light snow a couple weeks back, I heard on the radio that the tolls had risen to over $60! An insane amount to pay for 7 or 8 miles. It's 100% price gouging. But I guess it's OK, since the government is doing it.
Guess I shouldn't complain. We just got back from a roadtrip to visit Mrs IB's folks in KC, MO. We took the Kansas Turnpike to save some time (no silo towns) and we paid $11 to go 200 miles (each way). This is basically a freeway out in the middle of nowhere. The alternative is to stop every 10 miles for a silo town. A two lane road with a 60MPH speed limit that has a silo town every 10 miles with a stop light and not much else.
