After a nine hour drive, we finally arrived. I’ve never driven anywhere bigger than Asheville before so I was terrified. Almost backed out this afternoon but I’m so glad we are here. We saw more patriots in the lobby and a few straggler caravan cars on the way. Got a few honks for our American flag. I’m so glad we are here and thankful that we found the grit to come show our support for POTUS. If you guys see us tomorrow, we’ll be the two gals from Cherokee with the Trump flag (and I’m still wearing my moon boot). MAGA.

I hear you. I almost couldn’t swing it but I worked as a poll worker for the election, so my paycheck from the state BOE is covering this. I think it’s the best money I ever spent. Rumor is GEOTUS might come out so I’m praying we see him. We want to recreate his Bible photo at the church, get a pic in front of the White House, and I want to get a special souvenir for my dad, who’s an even bigger patriot than I am.

Stay safe fellow pedes!

Be on the lookout for Antifa dressed as deplorables.

Have fun. And a high five from me.

I’m a little scared about running into Antifa. We are hoping we’ll find some other pedes at the metro we can stick with. DC has such strict gun laws that they are sending ladies into the lion’s den with no protection. But I get the need for it to protect POTUS. We plan to leave early so we won’t be out after dark and stick with large crowds as much as possible, but I am scared of those violent drugged out commies.

Sounds like you have a sound strategy. Honestly I think that Antifa will be lying low.

DC is actually a very fun place to visit. Wifey and I have been there quite a few times.

Let us know how it goes.

As long as you're aware of them... big advantage

Supposedly they are wearing their MAGA hats backwards so they can recognise each other, but I imagine the purple hair poking out from underneath will be the big giveaway.

I wish I was able to make it. Stay safe, and MAGA! Keep your eyes peeled for NPCs trying to infiltrate.

We’re still on the way from Indiana. Be safe. People will have your back if things get unruly. I haven’t traveled this far in a very long time, but you’re right it’s definitely worth it. I set aside my Christmas money for family gifts to make this trip. I told the folks what was up and not only were they understanding, the three money in to help me go. The just insist on pictures. MAGA!

Going through Frsderick, MD on the way home?

Looks like the map app is sending us through a Fredericksburg MD (south of Arlington). We are pretty hazy on the geography up here. We went through Johnston City TN to get here.

You will be going through Fredericksburg, VA not Frederick, MD. Totally opposite directions. FYI

Edit: Also, no offense OP but I wouldn’t advise meeting a random stranger on the internet.

If you are planning on stopping by Frederick, Md on the way back shoot me a message. I know a few okay places out here to grab a bite that are chill and inexpensive.

Only about 1 hr outside DC, but I know a place that does pretty good MD crab cakes.

Cool! I’ll definitely PM you when we know more tomorrow. It’d be great to find a safe and good place to stop.

Just in case I miss you, it's the restaurant at the Frederick County airport. Cheap food but it's good eats, plus you get a good view of the airplanes! I'd love to join if you will be making it there around lunch time!

The crab cakes are what I'd say to get just so you can say you've had them.

Thank you. I’m too far away and have vehicle issues. If you guys need food. I want to do my part. Maybe I can send some pizzas. Let me know. Been out of work a while. I saved. Of nothing else, I have a shit load of credit. I’m sorry I can’t go just yet. I might make it after thanksgiving if we go again. If anyone in west Texas can help me deal with converters that keep messing up. I got loads of work done. Haven’t tried again since. Might be okay now. They keep failing. I can pay to resolve that. I’m sick of that. Want my old milage back. My old power back. I can’t keep tossing money at converters. Someone resolves that. I might just ride to DC. Skip thanksgiving. So sick of this crap. I can help You guys with food. I can try. I want to help. I love all you patriotic cats more than you know. If it’s my last dime to help you save us.... that’s a great investment. Let’s try to let me pay the bills that tho. 😩
