The hottest day of my Transcon. My phone shut down twice as it overheated, and I had to dive into the Potomac River to cool down.

Riding the C&O has been a treat, and a very contemplative journey.

The tandem and a tent at a campsite by the river, Naresh's sandaled feet in the foreground — A towpath campsite, and a fellow traveler.

A phone screen warning that it needs to cool down — Even my phone agreed. Hancock, and the Bald Eagle Hiker-Biker Campsite.
