LinkLinks Washington Post: This D.C. monument is ‘virtually impossible’ to reach. Here’s how I found it — past the hornets, snakes and swampland. By Editor On Oct 11, 2018 35 Share The hornets almost made me turn back. I was standing beneath the Oxon Cove Bridge, an unremarkable stretch of the Anacostia Freeway that crosses over Oxon Creek just before it empties into the Potomac, on the border of Maryland and Virginia. They hovered perniciously over my head, their nests blanketing the bridge’s underside. They guarded their domain with long stingers, buzzing with bright yellow wings that seemed like a warning for interlopers to stay away. To get to safety on the other side, I’d have to dash across a slope of jagged boulders, with the slightest misstep sending me tumbling into the water.
