We also went across the Potomac River to the Maryland side, where the old Chesapeake & Ohio Canal runs.

From the C&O Canal Trust: "Lock 33 of the Canal was a place of commerce situated close to the town of Harpers Ferry, just across the Potomac from town. The lock also sits below Maryland Heights, a high ridge that overlooks the Harpers Ferry. Because of its location, Lock 33 was surrounded by sheds, stores and houses. Built of Virginia granite, the lock featured a distinctive masonry arch on the exit end of the bypass flume."

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.
