Nice pictures!

I've ridden the C&O; someday I'd like to ride the GAP.  I've got the plans sorted out - places to camp, places to see, etc.  I need the discipline to force an opening in the calendar and the fortitude to hold to it despite the other demands on my time.

The GAP is great. And smoother than the C&O. I think it will be great when the leg from Erie to Pittsburgh is completed then I will try to plan a ride from Erie to DC.

Longjohn suggested riding the Erie Canal trail from Albany to Erie, the Erie trail to Pittsburgh and GAP/C&O to DC. I have to retire again to do that, but I might.
