Local partners for hiking, backpacking, sea kayaking, or cycling. I also love to walk Civil War battlefields (need a battlefield guide?).
Anyone want to join me on a bike trip of the C&O Canal towpath ? It's 184 miles over 3 days, from Cumberland, MD to Georgetown, DC. I won't be roughing it but staying in hotels along the way, in Hancock, MD and Harper's Ferry, WV. I'm not sure just when I'll make this trek (life keeps interfering with my plans), but I'd love to have company. If you are interested, please contact me. If you live close, maybe we can train for this together.
