Wow! What a beautiful sight!! If you ever get the opportunity to take in Great Falls, do it!! Absolutely majestic!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt and I toodled over to Great Falls, took in the views, then had a picnic before heading back to camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosie said she didn’t think swimming here was a good idea. She stuck close to Matt and only came out his front pocket for pics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lunch today was egg, pepper jack cheese and bacon quesadillas. Made with the only tortillas the squirrels didn’t devour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We rode back to Swains Lock. Matt headed to camp and I left for the store. Just a few hills to the Safeway in Potomac. I resupplied on some staples, then chose to head down the hill to Great Falls. Good down hills, moderate climb uphill to find that there is a fee to get into the park. $10 for bicycles. Praying I could convince the attendant I was heading to Swains Lock via the canal, I approached the guard shack. The barrier was lifted and I was given access without saying a word. Beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I rolled back to Swains lock with my supplies. I surprised Matt with some great deals on meat and a jar of Clausen kosher spear pickles. Appetizers of buttered french bread were consumed and dinner prep was soon underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh garlic from Matt’s parents garden. Absolutely delicious! Worth the weight…lol it doesn’t hardly weigh anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dinner is served!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rosemary, garlic and herb parmesian chicken, basil and herb couscous and fresh French bread. Dinner for two under $5!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Making a delicious meal together with the one you love nourishes the soul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wrapped our Sunday evening up watching the sun set over the Potomac river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt and I retired to our hammocks. I am thankful for great gear and bug netting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow we head West!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
