Beginning and End2539 viewsCumberland, MD where the Great Allegheny Passage begins and the C&O Tow Path ends.

A truly neat city, especially downtown.

Anywhere I can sit outside, eat good "Q", wash it down with a beer and get BJ stitched up from her latest bike accident, is a good lace to be in the Summertime.
