We will turn left onto the Eisenhower Avenue Connector, and proceed to the first traffic light. We will turn left onto the on-ramp for I 495 East/I 95 North (Please read the following: the on-ramp to 495/95N has ongoing construction. The merge area is short and narrow. Be alert and safe while merging. There will be plenty of time to get back in line once on the highway.). We will continue around the Capitol Beltway (I 495), taking over the left lane, into Maryland and then back into Virginia. We will then exit onto I 395 North, and take the right-hand exit onto the HOV lanes after Edsall Road. We will follow the HOV lanes toward the Pentagon, exiting onto Route 27, and then turning into the Pentagon North parking area. The cruise will end at that point.

Also consider this statement by D. Charleton from a few years ago ... "It's not like if you show up you'll be turned away."
Please be sure to bring/have an American flag to put on your car, or something to show support for our servicemen/women.
This year's cruise again has a lot to live up to. Please help me make this 'a cruise to remember'. Let us come together and show that we remember what happened on that awful day; and that we support our servicemen/women.
Special traffic note: When the cruise starts, the on-ramp to 495/95N has ongoing construction. The merge area is short and narrow. Be alert and safe while merging. There will be plenty of time to get back in line once on the highway.

I was the only Crossfire there (as usual) there were supposed to be 2 or 3 others (deadbeats) grin.
Was the most interesting cruise I have been on, Paul you missed a doosy. Someone stopped some of the cars as we were leaving the park, and warned about burnouts, Half of the cars started out going the wrong way on the beltway, almost 3 accidents (with each other) before rt 50. Nothing but traffic from 95 to the Leigon Br. half of the cars not making it onto the HOV lanes, on 395, and the only 2010 Chevy Camaro went into the cuardrail on 395, and did not finish. He is a friend of mine from the Fredericksburg area. He e-mailed me Saturday night and told me he was OK, just a small dent to his brand new car though, he was crying. I have some pics on the Crossfire forum I do not have enough posts here to submit a link =) crossfireforum.org
