The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Walk
Dear Phil,
Today we were off from school for elections. Because of this, Candee and I originally planned to do a 14 mile hike on the Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) Canal. However, after checking the weather reports and seeing an 80-100% chance of rain, we decided to go a shorter distance. We still hiked on the canal, but only went about 7 and 1/2 miles.
We started out fairly early and we got most of the walk in before the rain started about 20 minutes before we 'were finished. It was a fairly light rain and with the foliage from the trees above us, we didn't get too wet.
It was a very pleasant walk and toward the point where we decided to turn around, there were several caves up on the hill and we climbed up to do a little bit of exploring. It was a very steep climb, but Candee got me to go up, even though I was a bit hesitant at first.
