Lazy Potomac on a Hazy Day in July

At a bend in the river the Potomac flows slowly past the town of Hancock, MD. My friend John and I walk along a section of the C&O canal that once followed the river all the way to Washington D.C. Maryland in the summer can be a hot, humid, somewhat oppressive place even up in the "highlands" of the piedmont and mountain areas. The river has that smell that rivers have and it made me wish we had a canoe so we could set off down stream.
