<\/a>This picture is from my 2011\u00a0Hail, Hail Rock w\/o Rail<\/a>\u00a0trip. Yes, that’s a pretty goofy name but I can explain. In May of 2011, I went to Saint Louis, Missouri, to see Chuck Berry and called the trip, Hail, Hail Rock ‘n’ Roll. My original plans for this trip were to ride a train to Washington, DC, to see two concerts. Calling it Hail, Hail Rock ‘n’ Rail seemed quite clever. But, less than two days before the scheduled departure, the train was canceled. I saved the trip by driving but, in the flurry of rearrangements, the best I could do for the title was replace “‘n'” with “w\/o” which isn’t very clever at all. I saw Dirk Hamilton (pictured) and Josh Hisle (opening for Stephen Stills) in concert plus Fort McHenry, Ocean City, museums, diners, and colorful fall foliage. As I said in a trip postlude. “…everything was perfect for a train ride except the train.”<\/p>\nThe trip was my 100th so I did a blog post to mark the occasion<\/a> and reflect a bit on previous journeys. This Trip Peek is being posted following trip 135.<\/p>\n Trip Peeks are short articles published when my world is too busy or too boring for a current events piece to be completed in time for the Sunday posting. In addition to a photo thumbnail from a completed road trip, each Peek includes a brief description of that photo plus links to the full sized photo and the associated trip journal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This picture is from my 2011\u00a0Hail, Hail Rock w\/o Rail\u00a0trip.
