It’s the C&O Canal. Not very large. Think mule on path pulling small flatbed boat. It runs through Georgetown and is a popular spot for runners in the DC area. The path is nice and flat, although narrow as it winds through Georgetown. I believe it ran all the way to Lake Erie at one point in history. Lots of creepy homeless people living along it. I used to run there at lunch as there were lots of other runners and bikers so it was safe. No freakin way Michelle Antoinette every walked it!
Well you did say it was narrow so.........
C&O Canal - That is the name I remember from the books I’ve read...when it played a part in a story. Chesapeake and Ohio? It always included some of the history - cabins along the canal? I wish I could remember the author of the books that wrote about it - one character lived in one of them. The cabins all had names with plaques attached on them.
It very well could have run to Lake Erie. I grew up in upstate NY and I can’t even remember the name of the canal there - Erie Canal? There was a song about it! Yep - The Erie Canal Song - Low Bridge, Everybody Down. Boy - am I dating myself!!! I’m sure when we sang that as kids, we didn’t have a clue what it meant.
I’m with you - I don’t believe that obama woman ever walked her dogs - on the grounds of the WH or outside the grounds! That is what Mychal Massie calls her and it fits so I’ve adopted it!
