I can't tell you how I appreciate the effort that has been put into maintaining those old bridges and aqueducts! Where I live the department of transportation continues to tear them down even when they are in areas seldom used. Thank you, John! Once again you've brought us another beautiful video
It is nice to see people putting money into maintaining these historic structures. I love history and this trail has so much of it. Thanks for your continued support I really do appreciative it.
I had difficulties with my software and accidentally deleted the almost complete Day 4. Frustrated I changed gears and did some other videos. I'm working on Day 5 and Day 6 now, so stay tuned. Thanks for watching!
Hi John. Another well-filmed, narrated, and informational video! The details provided are excellent. Look forward to the last day's videos. Thanks for your great work and all you do. God Bless!
Wow another great bike ride and so many great stops! Never had Paw paws never even heard of them we will have to remember that when we get to the other side of the country. Loved seeing the mill, dams, canals, bridges, forts so many great stops with history and the scenery was great! We will be sharing a few places like this soon we like places like this. Oh those shoes have been through so much still cracking me up! Your sleeping location didnt look that bad and great you guys were able to get some laundry done!😊
That was our only laundry stop of the trip. It was much needed for sure. The “chicken coop” was excellent. The showers were in converted port-a-potties. 😂 they were clean and the water was warm. Not sure the score here would have even been a C grade per the rating system you’ve been using on your channel. Thanks for watching!
Greg’s shoes were long past their prime good riddance to them. Perhaps the served to remiss to check the condition of our gear before we embark on a long journey. We did get very lucky with finding those shoes. None of the local shops carried cycling shoes. Yes the pawpaws were very tasty and this was my first time eating them. They have a very short season.
Around the corner from the C&O Bicycle shop and "chicken" coop is the WMRT pavillion...a free primitive park camping spot with public water and electric outlets. A restroom is open except in late Fall-Winter. Sheetz is in sight. Can access from main street also across ftom from the church building.
The trail looked like it got a bit skinny in some parts where you could see people standing off to the side for you to pass, or maybe they were resting? I like when you include the old photos of the different bridges and the history. I have wanted to try a Pawpaw for a while now. There are many spots they grow in the wild near me, but they get taken fast. Last year a local fruit stand was selling them and by the time I got there, they were sold out. I think they sound interesting!
Yes, I did get skinny in a few places. People did pull oof to the side. The Big slackwater area was very scenic. My friend Steve at so many pawpaws. He kept stopping and foraging for them. He and Mike really enjoyed them. I love looking at historical photos and that why I add them to the videos. In some cases I wish I had done more research prior to the trip. Thanks as always for your comments. I really appreciate it.

Let's hear it for Greg's shoes - the true MVP of the trip. I've never even heard of paw paws before. I need to try those tasty things!

Upriver section of Big Blackwater was reconstructed by March 2023 raising the towoath about 2 feet rebuilding the towpath base & river wall
Yes, I was shocked when I did my research for the video. This is such a special trail and part of the Great American Rail Trail.

That is great information, thanks for sharing it. I think it’s great that the community recognizes the value of providing these facilities.

Locals pronounce the creek Conococheague as Kon-a-ka-jig
I really struggled with this one for sure. I have been trying to find online pronunciations to help. Thanks for the tip.
