Dam 5 is one of my favorite spots on the canal.
If I ever do it again, it will be like you, low mileage days. That way it's not so destination-oriented.
If i had known ,I would have met up with you guys

Dang! How'd I miss this thread?!
carol1, congratulations (though they be belated) on your C&O ride! Happy 50th birthday, too! And four weeks after surgery -- wow!!
You are one tough cookie!!! I think 30-36 miles/day is perfect for the C&O.
Oh, now you tell me about this option!!!! I wish I'd known earlier!We used Adventure Sports for a vehicle shuttle so the car was there every day when we were done.

I missed it too! Sounds like a great trip, and a fantastic accomplishment. I hadn't thought about having a car so you could have more options at the end of the day. Hmmm...

I grew up in Maryland, and worked in Adams Morgan for a long time. The idea/romance of hoping on my bike to ride to Cumberland was always there. Now I live 6 hours away and I'm even more compelled to do the ride in the spring.
Thank you

Anyone who does this please give me a holler. I'd like to try to meet up with you on the towpath. I'm only 30 minutes away
