I have in the past, it's a regular walk for me. Not yesterday though - if you look you'll see the basin is dry and they seem to be doing some kind of maintenance work.

I'm about 15 miles from the wheel itself, other parts of the Union Canal (the top part of the wheel) are closer and the towpath is great for walking on as it's lovely and flat - water doesn't run uphill too well!

towpaths are really nice to walk on. We've got a canal close by too (along the Potomac river) and it's a nice place to walk or ride bikes.

Penn?

The Union, for most part, is in countryside and peaceful - which is what I like - there are stretches that are reasonably easy to get to that seem to be just out of the reach of casual dog walkers and you can do several miles without meeting a soul and just wildlife for company.

And another one from impatient me:

Lamplighter: Rock Island.

Lamplighter · 11-08-2011, 08:32 AM

@Z: No, on Rock Island, but maybe that's the answer for Clod's

Clodfobble · 11-08-2011, 08:36 AM

Not Rock Island here either.

Blame Ted Turner for the shameless colorization.

Yes, glatt wins it, it's a "before" picture of Mount Rushmore.

I can hear that in my head (here, diagonally)!

This one might be dumb, but where is this? It's kind of a what and where is it...

(Did we miss one being answered, btw?)

infinite monkey · 11-10-2011, 11:39 AM

Yep!

glatt · 11-10-2011, 11:45 AM

Is there a reason you chose that particular one?
