The C&O Canal Trekkers spent the night at the YMCA Recreation Area in Cumberland, MD. Today they entered the C&O Canal National Historic Park that extends 184 miles to Washington, DC. The group learned the history of the canal which operated for 100 years as the lifeline bringing coal, lumber, and agricultural products to market. The former towpath along the canal presently serves as the bikepath. Early in the day they repaired a flat tire on one of the bicycles and then biked 30+ miles to Paw Paw, WV. The rain has been holding out and spirits are very high.
