Wilmington, DE: Ebright Azimuth

Submitted by: Backpacker Magazine
Drive the quiet streets of Wilmington to reach Delaware's high point, a sign on a suburban sidewalk: only dedicated peak baggers need apply.

Downtown: 14th & U Street to 1875 K

got off the 53 bus @ 14th and U and tried get to K as quick as i could. bus from TKPK, MD took a bit longer than i'd estimated. good practice run, but need to give bus 40 mins and bike 20 mins--give or take.
