Reagan's Funeral Procession; June 9, 2004

I hopped on the Metro after work to see Reagan's funeral procession pass down Constitution Avenue. I had a good spot picked out on the stairs of a federal building across from the National Museum of American History, but when I got there it was all roped off. I thought the crowd might take their time getting there but it was already packed an hour before the caisson was due to roll by. It was too crowded to get a good shot from street level so I climbed up on a planter with three other people and stood there for an hour to get a good view.
