Mason-Dixon Line Hike

Join us for an 8 mile hike starting along the C&O Canal and traversing through back roads along the countryside from Maryland and crossing into Pennsylvania. This is an easy to moderate level hike from the Maryland and Pennsylvania Line in Hancock, MD. This is part of a series of hikes along the Mason-Dixon line in Maryland and Pennsylvania.

We will hike end to end and position cars to transport everyone to the proper location.

WHAT TO WEAR:
* Comfortable, well-broken-in, sturdy walking shoes or ankle-high boots.
* Wear two pairs of socks; first layer is a thin pair that will absorb moisture (liner sock), and the second layer that will add for comfort and keep your foot dry (wool or thicker sock). Bring an extra pair in case you need to refresh
* Protective clothing should include: – A hat or scarf for sun and bug protection/bike helmets for protection on bike-rides – Long comfortable loose fitting pants or shorts with knee socks (for warm weather) – A cotton blend shirt provides for better perspiration and comfort

WHAT TO BRING:
