A great repurposed structure along the canal in Cumberland, MD.
Great repurposing, but I can't imagine what toxins that dye works dumped into the river.
Beautiful history 👏
Eva for the win! #muleThe votes have been counted...
Congratulations to EVA for winning Mule of the Month for May! It was a tight race, but Eva was able to pull in enough support to come out on top over Dolly by three votes!
Eva came to C&O Canal in 2009 and has been a steady and reliable member of the herd ever since. She has also become a visitor favorite because of her calm and loving personality.

She's beautiful. I love Mule's. I remember me and my daughter meeting Dolly few years ago but I can't remember if we met Eva.
She’s beautiful
What a beauty!
Congratulations beautiful Eva!
Detour in Williamsport. Thanks for sharing Mike McKay.
Take a look at the 522 bridge from Hancock to WV. Chunks of cement missing with exposed rebar. It's terrifying on the canal under that bridge.
Uh, that's about 35 miles upstream from Williamsport.
