Bob,
I'm going to be in Washington in a couple of weeks. Where exactly is the
stone?
Terry Smith, '59 TR3A
New Hampshire, where "Yah cahn't get theah from heah."
>I was reading through Automobile Magazine with the Alfa on the cover ($200K
for an Alfa?) and there was an article on the birth of our Interstate
Highway system. In the >article they mention the Zero Milestone Marker which
is the point "from which all road distances in the United States and
throughout the Western hemisphere should be >eckoned." For all the times
I've visited DC and walked around the White House and South Lawn I've never
noticed, or maybe realized, what that stone was.
>Anyhow....you can find a good explanation of it here
