The lock gates on the C and O Canal at Great Falls Tavern have been in pretty bad shape for a while. That is changing however. I went there today and locks 16 and 17 have been rebuilt and Lock 18 is in progress. The towpath is closed between locks 17 and 18, but there is a temporary path on the far side of the canal, so no need to stay away.
There still isn't water in the canal because they are currently working on Lock 19. Lots of sediment has built up in this section of the canal and it looks like they will dig that out as well.
We've had nice weather for the past week or two and I'm glad I've gotten out to enjoy it. Hopefully you have been able to spend time outside too.
