a friend and I just did this two weeks ago and had a blast! Amtrack in from Chicago to Pittsburgh then train back from DC to Chicago!

We started June 16 - either just missed you or were out there same time. Also took the train home (to North Carolina). Agree - it was a blast! Thanks for the comments and great to hear you enjoyed it as well.

Any chance you were at the fountain in Pittsburgh on June 14th or so? I had just finished the C&O and GAP, and you look like a guy that chatted with me about the trail. I had a vintage Raleigh touring bike. The timing seems right.
