Day 60: C&O Canal Trail

Today we rode bikes! They are so fast! We easily covered more ground today than we would have in two long days of walking.

Tonight we are camped in a hiker/biker site along the Potomac River near Point of Rocks, MD. We've seen more users along this trail in two days than we did in more than a month of walking the Natchez Trace. Although it has been nice to have company along the trail, we've missed the relative emptiness and solace that we experienced along the Trace.

We'll get into details about our bike gear and everything in a few days after we get back into the swing of things. In the meantime, we're taking it easy these first few days until we get our biking legs about us.

Photos today: sunset at last night's campground and the Monocracy Aqueduct, which is how the water filled canal crossed over the Monocracy River (a bridge of water for boats!). There's no water in it now, so we crossed right on top!
