After a slow start Sunday, the convoy of truckers who have sought to bring down the Washington, D.C. Beltway. While there was very little traffic on Sunday, there was one part where the truckers caused accidents.

WTO explained Sunday afternoon that the convoy is camping out at the Hagerstown speedway site, a dirt track about an hour north of the Beltway. Their goal was to drive the 64-plus-mile loop twice before returning to Hagerstown.

"Several accidents took place as it wrapped around the Beltway," said WTOP traffic.

The group is driving between 45 and 55 mph and following each other in one lane.

6. I remember the first time I saw that on the highway....

We have one Remarkable place situated amazingly near Philly: Our Lady of Częstochowa up near Doylestown….I haven’t been there for 40 years but when it was first built you drove up this winding road up a hillside and it came into view. Breathtaking and absolutely fictional in its appearance.

8. Beautiful.

I remember being in DC when it opened, visiting a friend in law school. And I remember the signs as you drove on to the property "NO TOBACCO ON TEMPLE GROUNDS." I was a smoker then and said FU and left. Can't get in there anyway.
