Our last stop on our trip was to the C&O Canal in Hancock MD.

I spent a lot of time in this area when I was growing up, as it is not only the halfway point between Morgantown and Baltimore, but because my aunt & uncle lived in nearby Warfordsburd PA.

And of course, walking and biking along the C & O Canal.
