Frickin' Toynbee Tiles

Okay, we are still in D.C. but I thought I had to quickly vent before I start packing up for the flight home. Over our 5 days in D.C. I have visited about 8 different spots where there are SUPPOSEDLY Toynbee tiles. Nothing.

I even emailed several waymarking friends, begging for tips and they sent me a link to a page that gave the street corners of 2 tiles that were spotted in 2006. We visited those today and they had been recently paved so the tiles were gone. I bitched and moaned about it, but then Bruce said that a pain in the ass category is better than a super common category anyday, and it put things in perspective. It was a lot more fun finding and waymarking a Native American trail tree today than waymarking the Dunkin' Frickin' Donuts shop that I had to waymark for an icon (there aren't any Dunkin' Frickin' Donut shops in Washington.)

Hope you all are having a safe and fun summer. Happy waymarking!
