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.

Lunch and a pint of Guinness at the Shamrock Restaurant twice this week, with Sandy, Judy, and Alex. The picture is not of the restaurant, but looking west from behind the restaurant. It’s on US 15 a few miles south of Gettysburg. Roads were fine on this trip except for the 10 country miles closest to home, where they were mostly packed white. This was the day after yet another government-closing, school-closing snowstorm which brought our house about 7″ of unusually sand-like snow. By starting early, I was able (in two sessions) to clear the entire driveway with the leaf-blower.
