    Thanks for posting your trip. I rode the C&O out to Great Falls this summer and we rode all of the GAP Cumberland to Pittsburgh over Labor Day weekend. I am looking forward to remembering the highlights of my trips though your videos.

      Thanks for watching. Hope you continue your stroll down memory lane. GAP and C&O are so different. Don’t ya think?

    Fun fun - you seem to be having such a good time! I can not wait to see the next episode and that rotten bridge in Harpers Ferry lol. Thanks for sharing these videos they are nice to watch.

      It was so much fun! I know what you mean about the Harper’s Ferry bridge from a previous trip. Since the derailment, they had to basically rebuild it. It’s nice now.

    It's so amazing how you get drawn into the history of the trail while there. Something I experienced as well. Such a beautiful place to be.

      It’s such a historic places. It’s easy to get swept away in it.

    Apologies for the display size. Settings mistakenly got changed. Day 3 will be back to full display.

    Excellent video is always young lady and one reason why I choose a full suspension 130 mm front and rear quick release mountain bike
    Although one regret is that I wish it would have been a through axle instead of quick release and maybe a 150 to a 170 only because I do a lot of downhill to go along with my bike packing and there are plenty of areas that even steps are no match but that waterfall would be time index 6:45 that looks like a sweet sweet ride but then again you would be cheese graffiti after that rides done I would have to take a hard pass

    Enjoyed your video. You have a great narration voice and the video was excellent if a little scary at the beginning. Lock 8 would have been much easier - and stores near L8 have fresh bakery goods. (No one should have directed you to Praline. There's no easy bicycle access to Glen Echo, alas.) PS: You can say you were "at Great Falls" but not "in Great Falls Park." Great Falls Park is in Virginia. Excuse the nitpicking, enjoy your trip, and keep up the great videography.

      Thanks. I appreciate that. I’m working hard to grow my video skills.
      Ya know we like challenges so the sketchy hike a bike down wasn’t so bad. We just happened upon Pralines on Google Maps. It was good. Yeah I’m using the GAP Conservancy’s map and it’s marked as Great Falls Park. Now I’m gonna have to find the one in Virginia!

      Thanks! I’ll be posting new ones each Wednesday! Next year, I have slated The Katy and I have unfinished business with the Ohio to Erie Trail. 2023 I’m looking at the Empire State Trail which I think includes the Erie Canal.

    Even knowing this video is a year old and then some you and your friend would like to do it one more time with another person I have only two weeks to work with one week is usually towards the end of the year and one week is somewhere in the middle of it somewhere for myself but that one could be worked into this somehow if you two are interested
