The trek to this historical landmark, is not for the fainthearted.

In my opinion, the best time to venture to SE9, is in the middle of winter, when the vegetation is low, many insects are in hibernation and reptiles, such as snakes and the like, are not roaming.

Navigating around and possibly through swampy conditions to get to this boundary stone, is very likely.

My wife and I made the arduous journey there on a cold, winter day.

The sky at the start of our expedition was overcast. But the sun broke through the clouds, shortly after we reached it.
An awesome monument on the corner in Old Town Alexandria.
BORDERLINE POST.

Before my scheduled escort to see the two boundary stones located within the Delecarlia Water Treatment Plant, I noticed an obscure borderline marker, that distinguishes the District of Columbia and Maryland line, which runs through the grounds of the Plant.

This marker is strategically placed behind the east side guard rail of MacArthur Boulevard NW.
I was escorted to this marker by a Civil Engineering Technician of the Washington Aqueduct, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Hiking boots should be worn to see it.

This stone is surrounded by nature on a hill, within the property of the aqueduct.
It was a thrill to see this historical boundary stone up close and personal.

The civil engineering technician of the Washington Aqueduct, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, give me a first class escort to it.
