Description:

Lana Lindstrom and Richard Hughes recently rode their bikes on the Great Allegheny Passage and the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Trail, a 330-mile traffic-free route from Pittsburg, PA, to Washington, DC. Sue Zeni did a similar trip last year. They accomplished the route through two different experiences – one used a company to transport luggage and make the lodging and restaurant arrangements; the other was done as a self-supported camping trip.

Join these intrepid Obsidians as they share their experiences and different perspectives of their parallel journeys.
