Last week I ran the Cabin John Trail from Tuckerman up to Seven Locks (about 5.5 miles) and back. I attempted to run the trail many years ago, but it wasn't well maintained. Today, things are different; the trail was quite clear and running a greenway across major thoroughfares is a pretty cool idea. There are parts of the trail where you can't hear any road noise, which is a welcomed site (or sound) in MoCo. I've yet to run the section of trail in/around Cabin John, but I hear it's not as great.
Yesterday I attempted to run the Greenway Trail, which meanders alongside the Great Seneca Creek in upper MoCo. I've run it before, but recently good Samaritans have done a lot of great work on it so I was interested in running it again. Unfortunately I failed at my attempt to locate the the trail once I got to Berryville Road. I paced back and forth along the road sniffing for signs of a trail blaze...all to no avail. I ran up and down faux fox paths purring and prowling, but it was not to be. A couple of deer hunters clad in fancy camo weren't even able to give me any pointers. In retrospect, I think I found the trail, but at the time I didn't beileve that trail was the trail because it was so overgrown. Oh well. I shrugged and ran some roads before making my way back to the towpath via Violettes Lock.
I got in some more trails later in the day while running with Scott.

Greenway is indeed suffering from overgrowth at the moment... including the sections around Seneca Creek State Park and toward 355.
