Travels
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.

Dahlgren Heritage Rail Trail ½ Marathon
The start of the DHRT Half-Marathon has a few hundred yards of rails, a restored ancient wooden caboose, a decrepit freight car, and “The Rocket”, a working railway pumper cart. Race volunteers use it as a moving platform for photographing the runners approaching the finish. See this moving illustration. Among the Fredericksburg Area Runners Club members who finished the race this day was Vic Culp, longtime director, in black hat at back.
