For this week’s trip we will return to the Class II George Washington Canal. However, for the sake of variety, and also to avoid the Violette’s Lock parking lot, we will meet at Pennyfield Lock (39.057, -77.294) at 9:00 am to set shuttle and drive to Riley’s Lock to put-in. We will then cross the Potomac to run the canal and then continue downriver to Pennyfield.
