  • Located 14 miles upstream from DC, Great Falls lies along the Atlantic Seaboard Fall Line where the Piedmont Plateau meets the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The series of cascades descend a total of 76 feet over less than a mile, making it the steepest fall line rapids of any river on the Eastern Seaboard. The falls themselves were created over thousands of years dating from the last ice age when the sea level dropped, resulting in the Potomac carving deep into the surrounding rock as it made its way to the Chesapeake.

The savage back and forth assaults in the cornfield adjacent to the church resulted in over 8000 casualties in a matter of hours.

  • Morning fog shrouds the surrounding trees and foliage of Point Lookout State Park. Point Lookout is also near the former site of Camp Hoffman, a prisoner of war camp for confederates during the Civil War. Of the some 50,000 rebel soldiers who passed through its gates, approximately 4000 would die of disease and starvation. Consequently, many ghost stories have emanated from Point Lookout.

  • At the foot of the George Washington Monument C.1826 at the summit of South Mountain, Maryland. It was here that the Army of the Potomac broke through the rearguard of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia after discovering special order 191, Robert E. Lee's battle plans for the Invasion of the North inside a cigar box near a farm outside of Frederick. The top secret plans described in detail how the already outnumbered army had been divided into 5 corps and spread out. Lee himself quickly learned through spies in Washington that his plans had been discovered, <br />
and immediately cancelled the planned invasion. Lee then ordered his divided army to regroup outside the nearby town of Sharpsburg, where the Confederate army would cross the Potomac River back to the safety Virginia. Unwilling to abandon his army’s first invasion of the North with nothing to show for it, Lee ordered his men to make a stand against the oncoming Army of the Potomac along the banks of Antietam Creek.

  • Located 100 miles East of San Diego in the Imperial Valley, The Salton Sea was created in 1905 when the Colorado River and its tributaries flooded. The floodwaters filled the valley basin, creating almost overnight the largest freshwater lake in California. In the 1950's and 60's, real estate developers worked to make Salton City the next Palm Springs/Lake Tahoe, laying entire street and electricity grids, planting trees, stocking the sea with millions of game fish and dredging wharves for speedboats and yachts to accommodate vacationers. However, little attention was paid to the health of the Sea itself. <br />
<br />
Chemical laden runoff from the surrounding agriculture of the Valley paired with rising salinity from evaporation poisoned the Salton Sea. By the 1990's fish and birds washed ashore in die offs numbering in the millions, creating a permanently foul stench in the air. Salton City, and the surrounding communities were largely abandoned to the elements. Much of the infrastructure still remains, with streets leading no where, docks over dry land and houses encrusted in salt.
