Day 1 Departure May 31, 2019

Departure at Spokane International Airport




Henry's notes for today:
day 1 (5/31): got to dulles on time, somewhat surreal to be flying over vast territory that we will have to ride back over to get home. unpacked and assembled our bikes with no surprises, although the process took 2+ hours.  rode 22 miles from the airport in VA to turtle run campground along the C&O (chesapeake & ohio) canal in Maryland, where henry's brother george (who lives in silver spring) was already waiting with our camp stove fuel canisters. he had ridden his bike there and camped that first night with us. Arrived just after it got dark. A lot of mosquitoes greeted us too. Sadly, the well pump there did not work, so we had no water.

These links will show you where they went to set up their first camp.

  1. How exciting! Looks like you made it to the C & O on the first day. Frank & I have good memories of that bumpy trail from a trip in 2017. Don't worry, the GAP trail won't be as bumpy. :) Enjoy yourselves!
