On November 20, 2012 the WooFDriver and the PAK went on a Mushing adventure on the C&O Canal Towpath in the area of Little Orleans at milepost 141. It is believed that Little Orleans is the second oldest town in the area and that the name came from a French fur trader whose hometown was Orleans, France. A riot started here during construction of the canal in 1848 when the Irish workers went on strike and the canal company brought in German workers.

On November 8, 2017 the WooFDriver and his crew took the WooFPAK on a Furwheeling Mushing adventure on the C&O Canal Towpath starting at the point of Bonds Landing. Access to this secluded point on the C&O is through Green Ridge State Forest. With 47,560 acres, the forest is the largest plot of public land in Maryland. The land has a rich history dating back to the early 1800’s when its primary purpose was for lumbering timber. Built in 1836, the Carroll Chimney that was part of the sawmill still stands today.

It was March 14, 2012 when the WooFDriver took the WooFPAK on a Mushing Tour on the C&O Canal Towpath through the Paw Paw Tunnel at milepost 156.1. The town of Paw Paw, West Virginia is just across the river at this point of the Towpath. The town, bends and tunnel get their names from the pawpaw trees that grow throughout this area.
The town of Paw Paw was incorporated on April 8, 1891 and is the westernmost incorporated community in the Hagerstown-Martinsburg Metropolitan Area. The Paw Paw Tunnel is a 3,118 foot long canal tunnel built to bypass the Paw Paw Bends of the Potomac River and opened for traffic in 1850. The tunnel nearly bankrupted the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company forcing the end of the canal construction at Cumberland, Maryland instead of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as planned.

During the WooFDriver’s Mushing Tour of the C&O Canal Towpath, he made Oldtown, Maryland at milepost 166.7 a stopping and starting point on a couple mushing adventures. Oldtown was founded in the 18th century and at the time called Shawanese Old Town as it was the site of an abandoned Shawnee Native American village. The town came to life with the building of the trading post along the Nemacolin Trail, an old Native American trail.
