When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.It’s always nice to see a little maintenance happening along the canal. 🚜
The National Park Service was out today clearing vegetation and helping keep the canal looking its best. Anyone who spends time along the C&O knows nature has a way of reclaiming things pretty quickly, so it’s a never-ending task. Still, it’s great to see the work being done and the canal getting a little extra attention.
For cyclists, walkers, and visitors passing through Hancock, these small efforts help keep this historic corridor looking welcoming all season long.
A big thank you to the National Park Service for helping preserve one of the things that makes our town so special. 🌿🚴♂️
