    You have to love those "shipwreck" coins that spent well over a century between the devil and the deep blue sea! Both silver and gold coins have that shipwreck "effect".

    Ahhh, the Riviera Docks at Lake Geneva. I used to own a cottage on another lake about 15 minutes away.

    If anyone goes to Lake Geneva (usually escapees from Chicago), I highly recommend a boat tour from these docks. But not just any boat tour - take the mail boat run instead of the more traditional boats. The mail boat still delivers mail to the lakeshore mailboxes of a large number of homes on the lake. Not only is it an informative tour of the lake, but highly entertaining watching the mail runners get the mail to the mail box before they miss getting back on the boat. You see, the boat never stops moving....

    Here is a greyside coin I have always liked.

    Yes, my favorite getaway place! So convenient, being so close (90 min. Drive).
    So historical, fun, shopping, EATING, relaxation and amazingly beautiful.
    Yeah, the boat rides are awesome too. Never took the "mail run". Maybe, next time? The mansions are cool to think all these well known Chicago business men lived there. B)<3

    I would watch the p-3 orions fly out of the Naval air station in Southern Maryland . While fishing they also would fly up the bay and over The Russian compound see link.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnVjq8U-fkc&amp;feature=emb_title.

    For a fact the compound was used for spying. As back in the day right across the bay were the radio towers that communicate with the the North Atlantic fleet.
    The location of the compound on the point of tha Chester river was perfect for picking up radio transmissions from numerous bases, as well D.C. is only 30 mile away from the compound.
    I would crab off the point as the area was good area for fishing and hunting.
    Those who don't know this area or D.C. the Russian embassy sits a vew blocks down the road from the National Cathedral on the opposite side of of the road. On the highest point in the city...aint that special? :)
