Floating the Potomac River

Floating from Paw Paw to Little Orleans way too many years ago.

This started as a first attempt to scan a 35mm color negative on my HP-3970 Scanner.

The negatives are from a 1991 canoe camping trip floating from Paw Paw down to Little Orleans. These shots are from near the put-in. Twelve miles of the Paw Paw bends lie ahead. The bends is that section of river bypassed by the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal via the Paw Paw Tunnel. After the bends there is a hiker-biker camping site where the canal rejoins the river on the downstream side of the tunnel. From the camp site it is less than two mile back the tow path and through the tunnel (very convenient if you’ve left your jacket back in the car).

This is probably the best overnight trip on the Potomac. Finish up with a cold one at Bill’s Place in Little Orleans.
