    but as it turned out, I'd gone barely not quite far enough... but
    I'd turned around and went back into the little hamlet I'd started
    from
    One time in the mid '70s I was in DC for a wedding.
    It was late at night and I missed my exit so I drove on to the next
    one. I was intending to just turn around and back on the beltway.
    But, this exit went directly to another road that was four lane with
    a wide tree lined median and no way to turn. There was fencing between the trees.
    I kept going thinking there had to be somewhere to turn and finally
    came to the end of the road, that was at the entrance to the CIA HQ! I just made a turn around, waving at the armed Marine guard and went back
    to the beltway.

    Now that was an interesting adventure... :) How long was that entrance boulevard...?
