Biking C&O Canal Path
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Path connects Washington DC and Cumberland, Maryland. We rode from Point of Rocks to Brunswick and back. We’re photographed mid-way, where the canal itself crosses over Catoctin Creek. The aqueduct had collapsed and been rebuilt a few years ago. We’re standing among some of the leftover pieces.
Crows Nest

you never know who’s watching.
Thanks Tim!
Tim and I assembled and installed this from about a thousand pieces which arrived last week in a box shipped from China via a long rest in California. Below, a month later, I put down some turf.
Currituck Banks Refuge
We took a two-mile stroll on the sound-side nature walk at Corolla, where NC Route 12 becomes 4WD-only then continues north, literally on the beach. The nature walk winds through the live oak woodland, with just one viewpoint on the Currituck Sound.
Meanwhile, about that time somewhere above us, my friend Mike Bussey was jumping out of an aeroplane. He got a better view of the canal connecting the Albemarle and Currituck Sounds to the Chesapeake Bay. We only glimpsed the canal when crossing by road.
