Ride along as I bike from Washington DC to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on the C&O (Chesapeake and Ohio) and the GAP (Great Allegheny Passage) trails. The C&O is a canal towpath that follows the Potomac River from DC to Cumberland, Maryland. It's a great bikepacking trail with lots of free and rustic campsites along the river. There are also plenty of B&B's or hotels as well. The GAP is a rail trail from Cumberland to Pittsburgh. Less rustic, but still a great bikepacking trail with plenty of camping and B&B's. Together, the C&O and the GAP make a delightful 330 mile bike path through the woods.
