October 27th Paint Out, Canal
Our October paint out was scheduled to be at Fletcher's Boathouse. Pattee Hipschen alerted all by email that access to Fletcher's Boathouse would be blocked due to the route of the Marine Corps Marathon. Two intrepid painters arrived at Fletcher's prior to the road closures, Ted Reed and guest Amy Mann, and were happily able to paint away. Amid the location confusion it was decided to meet at Swain's Lock, farther up the C&O Canal and away from the Marathon. Lida Stifel didn't receive the message until later and opted to paint at Pennyfield Lock. Ray Burns, Vicki Blum, Rajendra KC, Lynn Mehta, and guests Alison Barry and Freeman Dodsworth met at Swain's Lock and enjoyed a beautiful day of painting along the canal and Potomac River. An extra treat was getting a tour of the inside of the Lockhouse by a Canal Quarters program volunteer.
