While #biking Friday along the #CandOCanal near mile 30.5, we happened to spot a great blue heron across the canal from the towpath. We were impressed with how well it blended into the background along the edge of the canal. This is an unedited photo from my smartphone. Can you see the heron?
This past Monday, a holiday, was another beautiful day for #biking along the #CandOCanal. Here are views of the #Potomac River near mile 70.6 and Lock 37 and its lockhouse near mile 66.9.
Yesterday, Saturday, was another beautiful day for #biking along the #CandOCanal. This view of the #towpath and #canal is looking upstream near mile 20.2

We visited the C&O Canal's Cushwa Basin at Williamsport, MD and checked out the visitor center before visiting Fort Frederick State Park. We saw the end of a musket firing demonstration, listened to rangers talk, and walked through the fort.

C&O Canal and Fort Frederick Near Hagerstown, Maryland

After leaving Martinsburg, WV in the morning, we visited the C&O Canal's Cushwa Basin at Williamsport, MD. After a brief stroll, we checked out the visitor center and then drove 25 minutes upriver to Fort Frederick State Park. We caught the end of a musket firing demonstration, listened to some rangers talk, and walked through the fort's historical buildings.

Today on the towpath, on a beautiful afternoon: Looking downstream from Pennyfield's Lock near mile 19.6, with some of the lock structure at the near left, the #CandOCanal at left center, the towpath at right center, and lots of fall colors all around. #biking #Maryland
Today on the towpath: (right to left) cliffs, the #CandOCanal towpath, and the #Potomac River, with lots of fall colors everywhere, on a beautiful afternoon, looking upstream near mile 18.2. #biking #Maryland

Today's waterfall is from the C&O canal in the distant and exotic land known as Maryland. Officially it's known at the "Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historic Park" but everyone calls it "the Maryland side of Great Falls".
