Oscar and I took a ride out the C&O Canal yesterday as a test run before trying to ride all the way out to Swain's Lock to go camping along the Potomac. We made it just past the Chain Bridge before we decided to do some exploring.
By exploring, we mean "getting so wet, he rode home naked."
On the way back we decided to listen to Erie Canal by Bruce Springsteen and Oscar made up appropriate hand gestures for the various parts of the song..."low bridge, we're coming to a town."
Part II
I took my bike on the towpath the next day for a fast-ish ride and explored a little of the other things available near the path. Like a kayak course...
...hidden down an innocuous sidepath...
And some singletrack, which was fine on my bike...
and I had to remember to capture lots of insect specimens for Oscar. Luckily my hairy sunscreened arms were perfect bug transport.

Beautiful scenery! I'm so glad that you've started blogging again. And I see why you posted the whole video...Oscar really gets into the song into the end - very fun way to ride! :)
