This past Thanksgiving weekend Dave and I practiced a little time travel. Speficially we stepped back in time by staying at a restored lockhouse along the C&O Canal. The house, one of six restored houses, is available to rent through the C&O Canal Trust. The lockhouses have been restored to different periods signficiant to the canal’s history. The house at lock 49 is restored in a 1920s which would have been the peak of activity for the canal.
Six of us used the house as homebase for a weekend of biking along the canal and historic site touring. Friday we visted Fort Fredrick, Saturday we rode from the house up the Hancock using the C&O and the Western Maryland Rail Trail and then Sunday we toured Antietem. The fabulously warm weather made for excellent biking.
You can see all of Dave and my pictures over at Chesapeake Kayak Co.
