When your an ambassador for the GAP and it even works at Blue Goose in Hancock. On my wayto the C&O canal trust dinner I stopped for a snack. I met two ladies from Belgium, who were headed to Cumberland. Of course, I gave them an ice cream cone and answered several other questions about what to say and where to eat.

Mountain Maryland Trails today had the privilege of presenting the C&O Canal Trust a check for $10,000 to repair the washout at the 165.9 mile, just below Oldtown.
Part of our efforts to help our communities trails recover from th storm on May 12/13.
It was wonderful to see the efforts of the NPS to repair the damage.
