Phil came home for the Memorial Day weekend and he and I and Cynthia went hiking along Billy Goat Trail along the Potomac below Great Falls. Lots of picnicking and fishing occurs along the Virginia side. We sat up on a rock and watched the rock climbers practicing and discussed how many people drown in that stretch of river every year.
Very sad incident occurred the next day with two people drowning trying to save a soccer ball.
