Location

In the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Park, about 75 meters off the canal towpath.

Participants

Plans

The plan was to meet at the spot at 4:00 pm. (see the talk page)

Peter planned on biking along the canal towpath from Rosslyn.

McKay planned on driving, parking at the parking lot across the canal, and walking across the Chain Bridge

Expedition

Mckay drove in, walked to the bridge, crossed the canal on the bridge, took the ramp down to the towpath, walked along the towpath to be nearer the point. At this point, Peter showed up, on a bicycle. We walked through the forest, and to the edge of the water. Realizing the point was within the water, Peter, who was wearing a swimsuit underneath his clothing, took off his outer clothing, and waded in. McKay stayed on the shore and took pictures, but he was within the GPS accuracy (about 10 feet) anyway.
