🐴 A stop along the Cumberland Postcard Trail!
Pete, Steve, and Jean take a moment to pose beside Cumberland’s familiar mule statue. Jean brings a special connection to the C&O Canal story, having once served as a National Park Service volunteer at one of the canal locks near Georgetown. It’s always nice to meet visitors who have their own connections to the history and heritage of the C&O Canal!
Thanks to Pete, Steve, and Jean for being part of the Cumberland Postcard Trail. 📸
