53. Finish snarfing FX county/city, Alexandria, and Falls ChurchYesterday I finished out the last of Vienna. I have 38 remaining in Fairfax County, of which 5 either don't exist or are otherwise inaccessible, 22 are inside the Mount Vernon estate, and 8 are also in the Belvoir/Lorton area. One more visit to old Georgie's place and I'll be very ( Read more... )

I went through some snarf photos and while I'm still hopelessly behind on my logs and have even gotten to the point where I've confused myself as to which photos I've logged and which I haven't, here's a quick update on the whole mess, as far as it goes.

53. Finish snarfing FX county/city, Alexandria, and Falls ChurchIt really is a good thing that I don't obsess over my goal progress, isn't it? I mean, doing something like making a spreadsheet would be a little crazy, especially considering that I'd only have the Markeroni catalog to go by, and I already know of plenty of snarfs that haven't been ( Read more... )
