Today we left the great Allegheny passage and started our trip down the C&O canal. The trail is much more rocky and irregular so it’s somewhat slower going. However, it continues to be incredibly beautiful. We went through the Paw Paw tunnel, which is nearly a mile long, with a narrow tow path and the canal running through it. It was very eerie to stand in the center and be in complete blackness.
Tonight we are in a church with a cemetery in the back; the priest seems fine with the idea of camping, so my tent is among the headstones. Of course, as soon as I put up the tent, it started to rain.
