Patrick that we met in Ohiopyle on this trip met us in George Town, bought us lunch, and biked around with us.  Thank you Patrick O’Brient  Shortly after we left the campground this morning we stopped at Some falls on the Potomic River. Joan got to watch the ranger open the canal gates, but I had to run to the potty. In DC we were very impressed with the Korean War Memorial. We had to bike off the canal and take a ride around a boat house to find mile marker zero. Looking down at the tow path in George Town. A kiosk told us about turning the old abandoned C&O into a National park. ...
