Access problems for the upper Potomac

Just received this email from MD DNR....

Due to the Federal Government shutdown all of the C&O Canal is closed, including the boat ramps to the Potomac River. The National Park Service (NPS) has constructed gates at each access point, all are closed and locked. Access is only available at non-NPS ramps (Seneca, Whites Ferry, Brunswick Campground - maybe, Shepherdstown, and Williamsport).

That stinks. Looks like time to hit the Monocacy.

It's a sad day when you need the gov't to allow you to use the outside.
