I went out to several locations along the C&O Canal in Montgomery County this morning, Saturday, to scout for a bird walk I am scheduled to lead tomorrow.  Access to the Canal towpath is officially closed at all the locations I checked.  I talked to a Park Service employee at Pennyfield Lock, and she indicated that the area would be closed tomorrow, Sunday, as well.  Apparently there a lot of damage in many places along the towpath from the heavy rain.
