Excited about Ragnar Relay DC 2011- Sept.

Went to see "Hood to Coast" movie a few weeks ago with most of Team Lava. The movie was a documentary about four teams and what they go through before, during and after the relay race.

This 193 mile adventure-fest will push you and 11 pals through the stunning scenery of the Potomac River Valley. Starting near the town of Cumberland, MD, your team will head east through the thick forests of the Appalachian mountains.  Around night fall you'll run through the quiet streets of many charming historic Civil War-Era towns, ultimately passing within the shadows of the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial.  The race (and your stamina) wraps on the shores of the Potomac River and ends at National Harbor.

I use red as an accent color in livingroom. lamp (4) found the pair for $12 each at Finder's Keepers. I have them in my bedroom on our nightstand tables.
