LIVE Rewind - Walking to the US Capitol past the White House looking for the National Guard in D.C.

People have told me Washington D.C. is completely occupied by National Guard troops, occupying everything from the Lincoln Memorial to the White House to the Capitol. Hmmm… So I thought I’d take you for a walk down the National Mall and show you what I see. We pass the Vietnam Wall, the White House, the Smithsonian Museums on our way to the US Capitol barbed wire fence where we finally actually do see a few National Guard troops deployed. Didn't see any at the White House and don't see any on the National Mall either. As you can see, much of the rest of the city is open, except for COVID, which has closed most things :-) Join me on my daily morning hike in Washington DC taking in the sights.
