"Candy Cane? Or Capital Crescent?" As usual Roadkill gets confused and dashes to the wrong rendezvous. No matter! He pauses to photograph lovely lilies and irises, finds treasures along the way (golf ball and glass marble), and meets Danger Man and G-ji. The trio set off on hilly Leland St toward Bethesda. Tired muscles and tummy trouble slow the pace for some. R-Squared soon appears from the opposite direction, escorting Don, Emaad, and Ken, whose trail names are not yet revealed.

"Ek, do, teen, ...", G-ji teaches Roadkill to count in Hindi. We spy two ("do") rabbits and one ("ek") deer. A slight detour takes us to the "Clean Drinking Manor" spring where, supposedly, George Washington tasted the water and pronounced it excellent. Given the vast number of places where the first President slept, ate, and drank, it's hard to see how he had any time to govern!
