Security and Sightseers along the tracks

Right from the start of our journey, the security efforts surrounding the President-Elect are plainly evident. As we pass though Wilmington next to the train tracks that will carry the President and Vice-President Elect; we can see Coast Guard cutters competing with ice floes in the frigid Delaware river and State Police vehicles lining the rocky dirt access roads next to the tracks . As we continue our bumpy ride down I-95, the conversation on the bus has turned to curious wonderings about what types of security measures we will see on Inauguration Day. Everyone is very excited to be a part of this.

What do you think? If you are interested in finding out what Washington DC will be like on January 20th, you can look at the "Inauguration Watch" news feed along the right side of the webpage
