biking with bambi

Midweek on the C&O Canal is way different from the weekend in that it is completely deserted. Mine was the only car in the Point of Rocks parking lot. Less people means more wildlife so, to say it was deserted is not quite accurate. There were plenty of deer and snakes. And mosquitos. That reminds me to add insect repellent to my shopping list of stuff to keep in the imaginary bike bag that I don't have yet. This picture was taken a few yards from a spot called Calico Rocks that has a lovely camping spot and a trail that leads down to the Potomac. There is also a zydeco t-shirt left behind by a recent camper that is completely covered with spiders. It wasn't all that cool looking so I left it.
