184 Miles of Adventure (C&O Towpath)
48pp. The Mason-Dixon Council of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) puts out this straight-forward guide to the C&O Canal, and with good reason. The trail is extremely popular route for the BSA, and many a local grown-up scout can remember his "big trip" along the C&O with his troop.
The BSA guide provides simple descriptions of the route by mile, and simple line maps showing picnic areas, boat ramps, and telephones. A nice, basic staple-bound guide with card-stock cover.
