Power Plant 13.1 - Field Trip Run #4

How about some half fun in Dickerson?  In the shadows of the now closed Pepco plant and crossing over Whites Ferry Rd where the now closed ferry used to cross, the roads are still open!  The route can be shortened to 8 miles but requires running along Whites Ferry Rd. for 1 mile.
