Virginia vanity plate "LOCK5", spotted in Arlington, Virginia. Worth 1 SPOT · 1 likes · 0 comments.
Spotter's take: It’s actually a nod to the famous Lock 5 on the historic Chesapeake and Ohio Canal towpath near DC. The Appalachian Trail and C&O Canal worlds overlap around Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, so hikers and bikers in the region instantly get the reference. Lock 5 itself sits near mile 5 of the towpath around Brookmont/Bethesda and has long been a recognizable meetup/access point for people who spend time on the canal.
