Here's a few shots from the start of our hike:
Our first challenge on the trail: 6'4" Dan had to make his way under this 6'0" bridge. :-) The water on the right is the canal we will be following for the next 60 miles.

A pretty little creek on the other side of the canal.


Locktenders house. The back steps made a good place for a water break and a short rest.



Tiny wildflowers along the trail.

5 miles into our hike. This is about the time it started raining. Despite the raindrops, we continued on another 4 miles then called it a day. We had a great time and can't wait to get back on the trail!

  2. Too cool! My husband and I used to have dates on our sailboat with a picnic, or on a trail in the woods, before that, on the beach...we're picnic experts!

    This is a great idea, have fun!
