C&O Canal Hike |


|
It was a great hike today. We met at the Great Falls Tavern on the Maryland side of the river and saw the spectacular falls. We picked up several Webelos and Parents from Vienna along the way who's Scout troop didn't show up, and they hiked with us. At the half way point two scouts showed how to lay a fire and let a visiting Webelos light the fire. We dined on roasted hot dogs |
|
and, then returned and visited the museum before returning home.

Mr. Bob Freeman was our host, showing how the building was constructed, about famous books in the library (one book by Copernicus and one by Galileo), about how Greenwich time is determined, star mapping, rubidium fountain clocks, observatory history. Everyone had an opportunity to observe the moon through a |
