About this Blog

Just what am I doing here?

At the end of 2005, I felt like I was not getting enough exercise and what I was getting was boring. I looked at my day and one of the best parts was the time I walk my dog. The problem was that the walks were getting shorter and becoming monotonous.

To solve this problem, I figured we would try to cover new ground on our walks. Living close to the C&O Canal provides plenty of interesting walks. I decided that we were going to cover the western part of the canal in 2006. To get started, we explored the detour area on New Years Eve.

To make sure I keep at it, I started this blog so that the rest of you can keep me motivated. I'll try to provide information on access points and facilities as I record our progress.
