Good afternoon, St. Andrew's Society, Pittsburgh, and Cathy, 

 

Here's a SASP Thistle item: 

Would be grateful if you could include the Twitter feeds.

Thank you,

Paw Paw Tunnel Trail C and O canal hike with Tym Lenderking & Scott MacLeod - F Dec 9 2022 - texting before and after 

Scott - 

Safe travels - https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html Meeting on F 12/9/22 could work, and I've noted it in my calendar (The Middle States Commission on Higher Education annual conference in Philadelphia is on this W Th F ... but have written MSCHE I'm not going, and due to WUaS's lack of funds ... and I don't think this will change ... and I'm not interested in going either:) ... so looking forward potentially to seeing you then ! A Saudi Arabia World University and School and an Oman World University and School and for free-to-students' Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, and IB high school or similar degrees ...possibly with Humanoid Robot professors of surgery, and as surgeons as autonomous systems emerging from Toyota Ambulance Vans' autonomous vehicles ... and out of the US Saudi embassy and the US Oman embassy ... could benefit these countries and their peoples greatly, Tym! Looking forward to seeing you upon your return and potentially on Friday 12th of December ... for an early Xmas potentially (like the pre-Thanksgiving we shared ) Haven't yet added any C & O canal pics from my iPad via my iPad here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/11/honeysuckle-hiking-along-candocanal.html - yet but planned

Meet you around lock 64 and the Paw Paw tunnel on the C and O? (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/11/honeysuckle-hiking-along-candocanal.html :)

Tym - 

I think there is a parking lot right on SR 51.  Then we drive the other car to the trailhead on Green Ridge Road.  It's about a 10- mile hike altogether with the last part on the beautiful canal and through the tunnel 

Scott -

Sounds great ... I think I found the very trail we hiked afterward in AllTrails (and shared this with you too above) ... which was great to see on a Topographic where we had hiked (May bring my walking poles ... and for upper body strength, in addition to possible unanticipated steep trails like on that first path down to the C&O) ... Glad you know these places much ... will learn further where we might hike around SR 51 in the days ahead!

Some web sites suggest that parts of the Paw Paw tunnel are closed ... let's check beforehand! (https://www.nps.gov/choh/planyourvisit/paw-paw-tunnel.htm and see too re 'flashlight" and the middle is extremely dark, & interesting bits of history too  - https://www.canaltrust.org/2018/04/5-things-you-may-not-know-about-the-paw-paw-tunnel/ and https://www.canaltrust.org/pyv/paw-paw-tunnel/ )

Tym - 

We need to establish that as that's kind of essential to the hike.  Though I have seen a trail that goes over the tunnel 

Scott - 

Tym - 

Morning!  Looking forward to Friday.  Do you think we could meet closer to 0930?  I have to get back for a dinner.

Scott - 

Sounds like a plan? Where would you suggest? 

Tym - 

I think Paw Paw parking on SR 51 is the way to go.  Then jump into one of our cars and drive up Green Ridge Road to the start 

I can send more precise details later 

Scott - 

Great! Am bringing 2 robots with (but probably not on the hike:) , one which I made and newly coded with the Scratch drag and drop programming language out of Harvard and MIT:) see you soon! How was the Middle East?:)  

(I added the Mt Savage foundry historical placard esp ... one of the first pictures I took on iPad ... 1844 first iron rails made in US, where before this they had been imported from England :) )

Tym -

We made some progress on the trip, important contacts continuing to de-escalate.  Details in person!

Right now weather showing partly sunny next Friday while possible snow in DC!

High of 41.  So it will be colder 

Scott - 

Have to think through foot wear and shorts ... You were hiking in shorts in 36 F weather to start! (My waterproof - amazing re bicycling in Portland Oregon back in the day, slip in  Merrell Jungle Mocs with some tread still and no lift actually bloodied my right 2nd toe the other day ... a bit too small for this Birkenstock wearer ... May well wear sandals but wonder about moisture deep in the Paw Paw tunnel ... Glad for your progress in the Arabian peninsula, Tym!

Tym - 

There will be some rain out there Tuesday or Wednesday but so far none on the day 

Scott - 

Tym, still haven't learned how Jackson Shannon former resident here at 210 East End Avenue died, after new person in front porch room said he was deceased having moved in with co-resident Karen, to replace Jackson Shannon. I saw Lisa Ximei Peng, owner of KK Rentals' management company showing these new people the front porch room (as she had shown me my abode) ... and there was a cop in uniform hanging out on the front porch room for a whole afternoon leaning his back against Jackson Shannon's front porch room ... Am hoping the owner of the actual house and Lisa Ximei Peng didn't somehow arrange to have Jackson Shannon murdered, and in collaboration with a corrupt policeman ... please stay tuned with eyes wide open regarding our getting together. I wouldn't want anything that might emerge from such a possible murder here to affect my departure to meet you, or our getting together ... I mentioned Jackson Shannon's passing to you when we met the last hike, and all regarding my calling for the abolition of the illegal sex and drug industries and their latent networks of violence (and are the new people in the front room possibly part of the illegal sex industry internationally, and was Jackson Shannon's death caused by the sex industry's latent networks of violence)? Having fled the SF Bay Area for my life, and in calling for abolition, am reminded of my father's 2 subdural hematoma brain injuries - and a pic just popped up of my impaired father in Google Photos - and take his injuries as a kind of call to seek to protect people at WUaS ... potentially coding for all 7.9 billion people on the planet - with 200 Law Schools, Law, law enforcement and AI and machine learning (like my father wasn't protected ... and with aging reversal genetic drug therapies emerging ... could still be living decades or centuries into the future). Fond regards, and seeking to see you soon, and staying safe, abolition-ally, Scott

Just a heads' up as I seek too - regarding the Desiderata and see the "achievements,'"career,""trickery" and "heroism' words ... https://www.desiderata.com/desiderata.html - to continue to grow CC4 LICENSED wiki World Univ & Sch and regarding both federal and state of CA and state of PA law ... In asylum from CA, and fondly, Scott

Can"t be sure that what you send and i see in text is the same or versa - email is better  Tym in these regards :) 

Tym - 

Morning!  Looks like some rain is creeping into the forecast for next Friday.  Let's continue to watch it!  

Scott - 

Great! I've got one robot I made in hand and another on the way for you and the state department too re Yemen World Univ & Sch as well (teaching and learning-wise especially, and in Arabic too) ... would be great to adventure forth if the weather holds  

Hike in a tunnel in the rain, Tym ... if ... And for the Maryland green forest underground adventure, and seeing you:)? 

Found some new old shoes with much tread, low cut, waterproof, but not sure I have any GoreTex / sim rain pants these days or similar ... and not sure about shorts and hypothermia even and in the rain in a tunnel ... either  Alternatively, and although there's a Stanford Law CodeX meeting at 4:30 ET on Thursday afternoon, hour-long, I could drive ~5 hours to DC after this, and visit you for an evening, and then drive back to Pittsburgh late afternoon on Friday (with my car having gone through a maintenance after the maintenance sign came on ... and as a 2016 good Toyota Prius C is working well still post-maintenance) ... would be great to hike on the C & O canal with you on Friday possibly in the rain ... or visit it somehow otherwise half way between together out of the rain ... But maybe the weather will be rain free or very minimal on Friday too, Tym - Scott (some about Yemen World Univ & Sch in today's blog post too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/12/sarus-crane.html - but the video recording from the WUaS News and Q&A is taking abnormally long to process - https://www.youtube.com/ScottMacLeodWorldUniversity). Will I have completed or mostly completed recording my next Scottish Piobaireachd album, this one of classical Scottish bagpiping music "Honey Piobaireachd" by Friday? C'est possible (scottmacleod.com/piping.htm :) Looking forward to seeing you if it works out, weather-wise! (and interesting to meet Allen from Vietnam in the Toyota place today, again - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/12/sarus-crane.html - and could WUaS get 1000 Toyota Proace Electric Autonomous Vehicle camping vans, largest of 3 sizes, from this place when they may come out in the USA in 2024, and even with 1000 humanoid robot THR3 drivers ... seems like it will longer for THR3s ... for WUaS Educational Services' Stores' deliveries ... and with these eventually becoming Professors of Surgery in Toyota Ambulance Vans as 2 autonomous systems :) ... probably a better value than getting them in the SF Bay Area ... and could this also help make Pittsburgh a further center for Robotics ... with Professor robots on the street learning from, and teaching to, Pittsburgh people too in conversation in the future

Tym - 

Good thoughts! 60% chance rain at the moment 

Scott - 

Slightly further elaborated on here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/12/sarus-crane.html

Seeking for a possible 20 something yo MD life partner, Tym, or similar, and maybe when we connect initially 'navigating, her family will be enjoyable too ... A new MD resident at Shadyside hospital who might be seeking somehow? Went into the cafe  in Shadyside  yesterday where 3-4 weeks ago I asked some questions of an attractive CMU student about iPads. A fairly tall man was there again yesterday whom I have seen before with his black lab, a bit older than me ... As we chatted, sort of, Daisy was her name - and could he be this woman's father even possibly - and on his pullover was an image of the state of Michigan. This man has a connection with sweet Daisy, and seems nice and somehow 'released' (speculatively, could he even be a Quaker 'meditator' from the nearby Friends' Meeting and retired professor sim who might have known my father, and knows my mother? ) Who knows ... but the Michigan pullover reminded me a bit of a broken criminal UC Berkeley law instructor MI alum in a possibly corrupt Cal law school) ... I don't think I'll meet this CMU student again, and maybe not anyone in Starbuck's cafe ... but how, I wonder? Yesterday's 12/5/22 WUaS News and QA is still processing unusually and what does this mean ...  http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/12/sarus-crane.html?m=0 ? A bit of rain here in Pgh today ... rain possibly on Friday searching on green ridge state forest maryland weather ... a museum in DC might be drier and warmer than the Chesapeake Arboretum near you ... Am watching the weather for Friday ... And it could be fun to adventure out in inclement weather too! 

Tym! Another alternative with rain, searched on ... 'spelunking c and o canal' ... and here's a meandering Seldom Scene bluegrass tune C and O canal - 

https://youtu.be/nZrLaz3ttXo :) with illuminating lyrics mentioning too the Paw Paw tunnel :)

... AND ... 

THE "C And O Canal" LYRICS - 

Tym, just found "BARRON'S C&O CANAL MUSEUM & STORE" in Sharpsburg MD (possibility but not too high on my list:) ... Hiking in the rain could be fun (but in a downpour possibly less so:)

Tym - 

Morning!  Looks like clouds now for Friday, no rain.  But rain today so could be muddy.  We will miss having the sun bring out the colors as we did before.  At this point still game to proceed if you are.  

Scott -

Tym - 

The trailhead is on the bend in SR 51 just across the Potomac River on the north side from the town of Paw Paw

(MAP and PEN pointing) 

Right where my pen is pointing 

Looks like one option is that you can pick up SR 51 in Cumberland and follow it directly to the trailhead.  

Scott - 

am not sure I can get there reliably by 9:30 am Tym ... but maybe Google Maps and AllTrails can code for a specific destination by the time Friday morning at 5:30 am rolls around ... (and if they're reading this too, perchance, as an interesting mapping coding challenge :) ... Wishing I could just add your pic and pen to Google Street View with time slider just like that ... but it ain't that easy yet (just did a brief search, but maybe in the future ... like the picture from 2009 I added of the Harbin Gate House here ~ https://goo.gl/maps/7gSsSTweRCBo9gf87 ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~ but which has now disappeared ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy wise too ... : )

It's 25.3 miles (in a downpour?) from Cumberland to the Paw Paw tunnel campground - https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Cumberland,+MD/Paw+Paw+Tunnel+Campground,+Chesapeake+and+Ohio+Canal+Towpath,+Oldtown,+MD+21555/@39.5894069,-78.6832579,12z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x89ca8ec4b1940129:0x9bdc8c96587014e2!2m2!1d-78.7625185!2d39.6528654!1m5!1m1!1s0x89ca706c2c3929ef:0x2f3c6c563a00daad!2m2!1d-78.4615213!2d39.5441484 - (Meet at this sign - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Town+of+Paw+Paw/@39.5329575,-78.4579188,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipPEVFSUBLZzx5Y8t0AA2Gj7I71WjNYhMzKpORiG!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipPEVFSUBLZzx5Y8t0AA2Gj7I71WjNYhMzKpORiG%3Dw114-h86-k-no!7i3264!8i2448!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x50f144e2229ad32e!8m2!3d39.5329499!4d-78.4578728 - OR ... at the Paw Paw Public Library, probably closed ... in a down pour - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Paw+Paw+Public+Library/@39.5276584,-78.4601444,17z/data=!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x89ca708a1dcd5c0b:0x347f2b407eaa3984!2sPaw+Paw+Public+Library!8m2!3d39.5276165!4d-78.4579368!3m4!1s0x89ca708a1dcd5c0b:0x347f2b407eaa3984!8m2!3d39.5276165!4d-78.4579368 ...  or ... at the town hall with a specific address - Town Hall - 122 Winchester Street, Paw Paw 25434 TEL (304) 947-7476 - since there doesn't appear to be an internet cafe in Paw Paw WV? )

 . . . . 

25 miles east of Cumberland I think on SR 51 ... Shall we explore biking some of these 2 c&o canal sections we're hiking in the spring for an overnight or two even possibly (but maybe not as I'm still further inquiring about the possible tragic unjust murder of Jackson Shannon here at 210 East End Avenue Pgh PA 15221)? Am not sure what kind of touring bike then I'd find my way to however ... - Scott (Will aim for the Paw Paw campground in MD and hope to see you at (9:30 am ET) ... but the Town Hall or similar could still be a back up in a down pour ... or even the Chesapeake Arboretum in Virginia (??? https://www.alltrails.com/parks/us/virginia/chesapeake-arboretum) if we were to change plans at the last minute! 

Tym - 

Looking forward to biking then Allegheny Passage at some point.  We could tackle that!  

Scott - 

Not if I can't breathe, Tym ... There's a lot of second hand smoke in the air here which is causing me to be a bit short of breath even (and possibly metaphorically too) ... and regarding my ongoing inquiry into the cause of Jackson Shannon's death (re the murder industry and its latent networks of violence) after he was moved out of the front porch room and Lisa Ximei Peng moved a  new couple moved in there, the man of which told me that Jackson Shannon is deceased ... And I've mentioned the cigarette smoke a number of times to Ximei Peng who can't seem to stop it as owner of KK Rentals). I've also put a sign in the back of the front door suggesting nicotine gum re the addiction ... And asked for the name and email address of the house's owner ... And asked, too, Kim Viehland MIT alumba to begin a no smoking campaign ... Nothing seems to work and am short of breath presently ... While biking over the Great Allegheny passage with you could be great, I don't have the money to speak of to even get a normal bike let alone a great touring electric bike (and while there's a great excellent 18 speed light weight Schwinn Voyageur bicycle on Craig's List in St Louis MO for $350 - \

Zap Motors doesn't seem to make an updated version of the Zap motor I had on my Schwinn bicycle in the 1990s with a 500 mile range lithium ion battery, and getting a heavy OptiBike, for ex., with possibly a 30p mile range and trailer etc is impossible ... Still reading the winds whether the campground or Chesapeake Arboretum in VA is safer ... and even re 3 US state police forces and security questions re latent networks of violence and abolishing the illegal sex industry ... and even scarily re unwell frederic khayat housemate (could he have become a federal criminal by calling fir the death if Jackson Shannon?)  Stay tuned ... Biking together would be fun but I don't have a bike (in mind) yet ! :) See you in the rain on Friday at 9:30 am somewhere Scott

Tym - 

No worries, as always health first!   Right no rain forecast, fingers crossed.  

* right now 

Scott - 

Am wishing the well founded worries of the past 15 years in developing WUaS diminish in the next 220 years as a 25 year old, Tym (with FDA approved aging reversal genetic drug therapies) and maybe too a wonderful pretty 25 year old MD life partner :)

Tym - 

Morning!  There is some sun creeping into the forecast for tomorrow.  

Scott - 

good for our adventure! 44F high 26F low ... cool! (would like for my life partner to give birth to a son or two too:) ... see you soon, Tym! 

The robots in Klara and the Sun were solar powered, possibly in rainy GB ... HOW to develop solar powered Toyota THR3s as MD Professors of Surgery autonomous systems in related vans in Yemen World Univ & Sch ...https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Yemen ... will be a question we can or might explore tomorrow too :) (https://education.lego.com/en-us/lessons/renewable-energy/solar-vehicle/ and 

https://youtu.be/DXA1r2KleJ0 ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/08/sea-eagle.html?m=0 :)

2.5 hours 136 miles to the campground in Oldtown MD on SR51 from here and now ... looking forward to our hike with some sun :) 

ONSEN - this is the relatively new Youtube interactive immersive info tech that I think will be amazing for further physical- digital Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic and STEM brain research too https://youtu.be/X6YBetANDUI :) 

Let's talk a bit later to touch base over the phone about our C&O hike again, Tym! :)

Thursday - 

Tym - 

Looking forward!  

Scott - 

The future is a head! (ahead:)

The Cumberland MD Times-News ... https://www.times-news.com ... and I'm driving through Cumberland!  

Tym - 

Good morning!  Sunshine predicted today!  

Scott - 

Good morning ! See you soon! Glad the sun will be out! (Both alarms didn't go off it seems ... but woke up just in time I think ) ... Growing Yemen World Univ & Sch and Arabic language WUaSs further ahead? See you soon Tym, Scott 

Tym - 

Happily on my way to Paw Paw!  ETA 0920

Scott -

Hi Tym, am here I think ... how are you? The turnoff isn't clearly marked but there is much blue tarping visible from the road ... I appear to have wifi too ... Will call soon. Scott

Tym - 

5 mins out 

Scott - 

GMaps took me here accurately ...  

Great (I missed the Breezewood main exit off of 76 Hwy in PA but came a PRETTY way through Bedford exit ... Yay Google Maps ... See you soon! 

Friday, Dec 9, 2022 

8:40 pm

Scott - 

Hoping you got home well, and made it to the dinner in a timely way, Tym? Wonderful to see you and hike a new part of the C&O canal - https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-google&sxsrf=ALiCzsZBZfUBT1FsjkY3O8O18Gpk-RaOIA:1670635853823&q=paw+paw+tunnel&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjGx_bE8-37AhVYjnIEHdogA9QQ0pQJegQIBxAB&biw=393&bih=676&dpr=2.75#imgur c=bg3xRXcdLa3E-M - Stopped briefly in Cumberland MD,  a terminus town for the C&O canal, but not in Paw Paw (am curious how it got its name) ... Would like to (be able to) talk with every single person who lived along the canal from 1850 to 1950 or so as iterating avatar bots and ghosts in a sense even in the back of my REI glacier glasses ... and for everyone yo be able to while hiking the C& O canal in any year in all historical events and wherever the evidence exists, and points to, geo spatially ...  :) ... For living history ... Bon Appettit and looking forward to beginning to plan Yemen World University and School with you, with the beginning of this at the Great Eastern Trail as you observed :) 

https://www.greateasterntrail.net/ ... From Alabama to New York! :)

The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, abbreviated as the C&O Canal and occasionally called the "Grand Old Ditch," operated from 1831 until 1924 along the Potomac River between Washington, D.C. and Cumberland, Maryland. Wikipedia :) 

Tym - 

Hello Scott!  Have made it home and showered and now heading to dinner.  Hope same for you! 

Scott - 

Thanks!

Yes, got back safely, had some dinner ... seeking of life partner to begin a family continues! Thanks  

Tym -

So glad!  Wonderful day.

So one of the people at my (small) dinner grew up in Canyon.  What are the chances??

Scott - 

Wild chances, Tym?  ... Any related changes (chances/) that someone from Harbin Hot Springs' California alternative 'culture'  could be in a small dinner party circle with you in DC? Wonderful to hike with you, Tym ... Talk soon   (am recalling now that Paw Paw tunnel may get its name from this tree ...https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/11/paw-paw-tree-asimina-triloba.html ... pics + more to come:)

Tym - 

She loves Canyon and Harbin!

Scott - 

Canyon CA resident, a RN, who's interesting, named Elizabeth got my Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book ... haven't ever talked with Elizabeth about a World Univ & Sch Academic Medical Center, with warm water cure - and for Physical-Digital Field Site Generation with a Harbin Hot Springs' physical simulacra, and with WUaS Longevity Genetics' Institute up on the ridge in Canyon 94516! I was tired after our hike ... am impressed with your energy! (Just recorded the 1st version of the 3rd tune from my upcoming Scottish Small Pipes' Piobaireachd album ... http://scottmacleod.com/piping.htm ... of 'prettiest Piobaireachd' ... will probably record the 2nd and final version tomorrow!) Warmly, Scott

 (https://twitter.com/sgkmacleod/status/1601328798133211137)

Tym - 

She is the wife of the Secretary of Homeland Security.  Lot of interest at this dinner about Reed College 

Scott - 

I don't recognize Tanya or Alejandro (from Cuba) Mayorkas. ... but small world  ... Hoping that the innocent, women kids, victims others are being protected by numerous agencies state and federal and international ... And re law and law enforcement (as I would say I wasn't Tym ... and called the police in Canyon 94516 and have whistle blown about Reed and Harbin too!) Hoping you had a good dinner Scott 

Tym - 

She had moved before you got there.

Scott - 

Late Nov 2008, I think, after my father died Nov 25 2007 from his subdural hematoma brain injuries ... And after a year of ethnographic field work,  1 month in, and 1 month away for 6 months at Harbin in 2008 ... ( ...  http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html ...)Scott

Ice skating today (free) with the Shady Side Academy community close by in the Shadyside/East Liberty part of Pgh at the Hunt Armory ice rink (and good for testing robots on ice with my kids to be possibly in their high school years if they went to Boarding Sch at SSA for example) ... But The event is AT CAPACITY - 

https://twitter.com/shady_side/status/1601283084955025409 - so I also will miss an opportunity to circulate in seeking a life partner, Tym (and also am a little wary of ice rink ethos from the former hockey player I think uc berkeley criminal sick law instructor w kell ... and in calling for  the abolition of the illegal sex and drug industries and their latent networks out of uc berkeley itself). Wonderful to hike with you in the incredible expanse of the green ridge wood yesterday, Tym, and thanks too for suggesting teaching Scottish small piping again!  (https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1601328155494854656?t=kUIx7u9uE7SjNTiEDElJmQ AND re ROBOTS IN YEMEN https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1600843875941494785?t=DiIUX_YhakC0tTNp6AyKqw&s=19 :)

Lots of sun in Yemen I'd imagine for Yemeni kids to grow up learning by playing Lego robotics (& on #WUaSHomeRobotics' Engineering university tracks) and testing their solar robot creations, and as Yemen 'goes' solar, internet (& web-agriculturally for efficiencies), and robot, re economic development (without the West leaving a pile of trash or war history there in what seems to be a very poor country), Tym! More to explore in the green ridge wood and in further adventuring :)Scott (

https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1600843875941494785?t=eQHAo3l282rbzkYhoya4Lg&s=19 - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/08/sea-eagle.html?m=0 ) Fond regards, Scott 

Tym -

That was a wonderful day!  Thanks so much for excellent company and camaraderie and adventuring.  Can't wait for the next!

Scott -

Yay ... maybe a (electric) bicycle tour on the Great Allegheny Passage ... or? :)

Tym - 

One option is to pick up the trail in the woods that continued as we emerged to take that left onto the dirt road and head uphill.  You remarked on going straight.  That also takes us down to the canal, at which we could turn left and reach the Paw Paw parking lot.  For consideration!  

Also the Tuscarora Trail awaits us in the vicinity of Hancock, MD.  A little longer drive for you but that trail continues many miles in both directions and also crosses the mighty Potomac.  

Food for thought!  

Scott - 

am marveling at how the planners got great expanses of forests right in the Green Ridge state forest possibly 2 centuries before the planners got it right regarding the EAST BAY MUD large open lands in the SF Bay Area making our communing in the woods yesterday possible! Thank you Tym for our great hike once again in those C and O forests! More food for thought!

How would a World Univ & Sch academic medical center with warm water cure and for Physical-Digital field site generation (ethnographic, archaeological, geological etc) work out 2 centuries into the future planning-wise I wonder?:) ... and will we be soaking there then? (the US govt is old, Harbin Hot Springs since 1972 is young :)

Put another clothing-optional Hot Springs with great ethos (heart consciousness church-wise, out of the box, but different) inside that blue tarping at the Paw Paw trailhead where we met yesterday and all legal at federal and state levels to protect people brainstorming wise :)?  

Both Travertine Hot Springs and Buckeye Hot Springs east of the Sierra Mountains are managed by the US forest service !!! (and a little 'raw' somehow culturally seem to be clothing optional too :)
