2017-07-30 - Canal Towpath Trek

 

~7.0 miles @ ~13.4 min/mi

"You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!" A splash spreads ripples across the C&O Canal: the Lady of the Lake, trying to give Excalibur to Dr Fonda? Or a turtle fighting with a fish? Mists swirl on the surface as we trot upstream from Carderock, discussing politics and friendships, injuries and birthdays. Another Stephanie stops and asks us to keep an eye out for her lost credit card. Kayakers and paddleboarders portage their equipment. A kingfisher perches patiently on a stick.
