    Boardwalks and bridges along the Potomac were very frosty this morning. Be prepared for lowered traction!

    GWMP at Gravelly Point. It seems that a light pole was felled by an auto last nightClick image for larger version.  Name: 20191126_113958.jpg  Views: 90  Size: 95.3 KB  ID: 20523

    Given that the light pole wasn't wearing anything reflective, it probably wasn't the driver's fault.

    It was down when I biked through there around 7pm yesterday, so it must have gone down sometime before then.

    It was down Sunday morning when I biked through (unless another one went down). I am surprised that it hasn't been cleared away yet.

    When I went home yesterday afternoon, they had placed barriers beside the trail and covered detour signs. When I went through this morning, they were still there and the trail was still open.

    I expect they will have everything in place sometime today for the detour.

    Yeah, looked like they did some survey work or utility marking yesterday...planning for a detour tonight.
