Washington State Route 308

On Sunday, July 27, 2014, we drove short Washington State Route 308 from one naval base to a brick wall.

RCW 47.17.567
State route No. 308:

We entered the town, but after just a couple blocks, Highway 308 ended here at this wall. I had an urge to "drive to the end" by bumping my car against the wall, but I thought better of it.

The street continues on the other side of the wall. If only...
