		<description><![CDATA[Back in December, we noticed a drilling machine sitting on the railroad trestle immediately upstream from the Sideling Hill Creek Aqueduct.  We wondered about its purpose for being there, but later found out that it was part of an environmental assessment regarding the feasibility of extending the Western Maryland Rail Trail.  The assessment is now [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day I was browsing through some old pictures on my cell phone, and suddenly my heart skipped a beat.  If you&#8217;ll take a look at the top of the stairs (of Lock House 49), you&#8217;ll see a mysterious shadow figure that appears to be interested in what I&#8217;m doing.  Now, here&#8217;s the rest [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re planning on doing another Cumberland to Georgetown bike trip in June, but we generally do most of our (ahem) training on the Western Maryland Rail Trail.  The main reason is that I&#8217;m trying to get maximum mileage out of last year&#8217;s tune-up at the bike shop.  Hitting the towpath too hard and too soon [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of the many ways of crossing the Potomac (or its North Branch), two of our favorites are the Oldtown Toll Bridge and White&#8217;s Ferry.  The Oldtown Bridge is reportedly the last privately owned toll bridge in the United States.  It was built in the 1930s and has changed owners several times, and current owner John [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The big bike ride is less than six weeks away, but the weather has been anything but cooperative.  The motto for today was &#8220;Blame it on the rain,&#8221; and like Milli Vanilli, we may very well be lip synching our way down the towpath in June.  As it turns out, it was one of those [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Fifteen Mile Creek Campground is in the process of getting a facelift.  According to signs on the work site at the downstream end of the campground, the Maryland DNR is putting its funds to work in order to create a new-and-improved facility.  We were told at Bill&#8217;s Place that the present camping area will [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Fifteen Mile Creek Aqueduct is located near mile marker 141.  It&#8217;s a single-arch structure with the upstream wall missing, which is typical of most of the smaller aqueducts along the C&#38;O Canal.  However, for thirsty cyclists and hikers, it&#8217;s a sure sign that Bill&#8217;s Place is a few turns of the pedals away.  The [...]]]></description>
