Speaking of out of state future trip, I'll be going down to D.C. on the 26th, home of their bestest New Flyer DE42LFA and DE62LFA in the fleet . And this is information I received from the my messages with information and schedule about where I'll going to during my trip with the college.

Hello All-

Thank you for signing up for the Washington D.C. Leadership Tour! The trip date has been set for Tuesday, October 26th. Between the beautiful areas, amazing museums, and plentiful knowledge and information at your fingertips, you surely will not be disappointed with this trip. Due to White House logistics, we were not approved to go on the White House tour. Thankfully, Washington D.C. has plenty more to offer, and we have plenty more planned!

Here is the itinerary for the day:

5:30am- Bus departs Marple Campus, please arrive earlier in order for us to leave promptly at 5:30. We will leave at 5:30 am
8:30am- Security check-in at Library of Congress
9am- Tour of Library of Congress
10:50am- Tour of U.S. Capitol
These tours are followed with lunch (not provided) and free time around the mall to visit the monuments and Smithsonian museums. Museums close 5pm. Please have supper (not provided)
6:00pm Bus pick-up and return to DCCC

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, October 26th, for our Washington D.C. Leadership Tour!



When I'm outside, I'll do my best on trying to get as many photos and videos as possible of buses and so.

Coming soon October 26, 2010!!!

I think he means the National Mall. Ive been there before. But its been a while since. Lately when Im in DC Im up by Metro Center. As well as somewhere outside of downtown Washington. My last visit was to Pentagon City Mall as well as the National Harbor. As well as China Town. Many times Im usually in Silver Spring. Maybe Bethesda. And I even once went to Wheaton.

Here's are the photo's from my D.C. Trip. Got pictures and videos of buses from WMATA New Flyer C40LF, C40LFR, D40LFR, DE40LFA, and DE60LFA,buses; Orion V, VI, and VII 40ft and 30ft CNG; Neoplan AN460 in which they have a rapid acceleration than our Neoplan AN460 due to the use of Detroit Diesel Series 60 engine and the 20 year oldFlxible Metro B that is STILL IN SERVICE; WMATA buses I rode on include a 2005 Orion VII 40ft CNG, 2007 New Flyer C40LFR with Metro Extra Paint Scheme which is the best bus in the fleet and 1998 Orion V which is one of the best bus in the fleet. For D.C. Circulator, buses seen there include VanHool A330 and A300K For ART, buses include 2009 Restyled NABI 35-LFW CNG and brand new 2010 Restyled NABI 31-LFW CNG; that 2010 NABI 31-LFW CNG sounded so great, quiet and smooth. I was shocked to see this and WMATAvid (In youtube) from D.C. and I were both lucky to get our 1st ride on it.

Sorry about the picture, I tried to hold steady the camera, but don't forget the bus was moving and getting a picture while it is in motion wasn't easy
