TE-DC Canal Ride

[Zen]

Actually, I've already said that I might have to work that day,

I know. I thought you might know for sure by now

Hey, you work in inventory now, wouldn't you rather come downtown and help me than ride the towpath?

I'll do just about anything for the right amount of money.

which parking area are you thinking of to start at Harper's Ferry? One of the ones at the base of Maryland Heights?

If you drive a little farther down there are two more parking areas

And you thought the canal was for folks who couldn't hang on the road, huh? Guess yer learnin' otherwise, huh?

Now i think you're channeling my mother

Just in case someone forgets the subs at home, (do we have Jimmy John's out here?) what is the plan for food?

I was thinking maybe potluck style?

and then we did decide on the 12th?

Yup.

that is sounding good. what shall I bring. hmmm

[Zen]

I think I'm bringing cheese, apple slices, crackers, salad greens and dressing.
And paper plates/forks
That is until I change my mind.

And here I thought you might do it out of the goodness of your heart.

Those can be some tricky spots to get in and out of. I almost got rear-ended once trying to back out of one of them. Why not begin the ride somewhere with easier parking? (Do I still sound like your mother?)

Regarding food: There's a Sheetz just off of Route 340 on the way out towards Harper's Ferry-- Good spot to pick up a sub or some other munchies.

If we start at Brunswick and go to Antietam Creek aqueduct I estimate that to be about a thirty mile round trip.

OK,Mother.

[Kalidurga]

Or if 30 miles is too much, Dam 3 is a good spot to stop and hang out for a while before turning around (that'd be approximately 25 miles round-trip). I've always wanted to take off my shoes and do some wading in the river there. If I join y'all, I may have to squeeze a small towel into my Camelbak

[Zen]

Let's see...

Brunswick is mile 54

Harpers Ferry is mile 60

Dam 3 Is mile 62.27

How do you figure 25 miles?

[Kalidurga]

So I flunked math. That's why I spit out info, but don't actually lead rides.
