Caption

The first architectural dedication to George Washington. With its 228 steps, this baby is a healthy undertaking to climb. Do as I say and not as I do: remember to take all your equipment with you on the first run.

Thanks to Matt for the company ... I hope his breathing is back to normal.

From panoramablog.com :

"Finally Halloween has come around, and what better way to do scary while not yet dark than this . . .

Or would you believe me if I told you that the thingie in Washington's hand is a remote and he is merely trying to fool you as he non-chalantly looks away from the lens as if unaware of his self-portrait being taken?

I mean somebody had to press the button up there."
