On my way home from Washington I saw an intriguing sign next to the highway: "Dutch Gap Conservation".

I took the exit and followed the signs. It turns out the Dutch Gap is a short cut in the James river that was created in the Civil War by General Dale.

He had been to the Netherlands and had a number of Dutch engineers in his army, which explains the name.

The Dutch Gap canal. The bridge is I-95, the highway I took from Washington D.C. to Richmond Virginia. The highway starts in Canada and goes all the way to Florida.
