Turns out the old Chesapeake & Ohio Canal (also known as "The Old Ditch" runs right through Maryland, and there are spots to hike, bike, and enjoy nature and history all up and down it. The canal operated from 1831 to 1924 between D.C. and Cumberland, MD, mostly transporting coal from the Alleghenies. The canal has a series of locks, which I thought would make for a cool bucket list, until I found out there's like 75+. So I guess I'll just visit the ones that look the most interesting...

A Trip to St. Clements
Ages ago (aka a couple of months ago), Danny and I did an overnight to St. Mary's County, specifically to see St. Clements Island. We stopped a cool museum along the way, which had replicas of an old Schoolhouse, an old General Store, etc.
And was just a pretty place to walk around and stretch our legs.
We got to the St. Clements Island Museum in the late afternoon, and toured that.
Unfortunately, it was terrible planning on my part because you need to ride a ferry to get to the island, and we'd just missed the last boat. Danny was in a particularly crabby mood, so I made sure to point out this sign to him...
2021 Reading Adventures
Which couldn't have been more different, but were all wonderful. And then I read the Inn Boonsboro series (b/c job), and a few others...
Life at Springfield Manor part 1
It never fails to amaze me how much stuff we've accumulated every time we move... And though I weirdly kind of enjoy it, Danny is less ...
