About the Author

Mike High grew up in the Philippines, California, and Vietnam. He has cycled in many places around the world, but the trail along the C&O Canal remains his favorite ride. His interest in the canal began when he discovered he could ride the towpath all the way to Antietam Battlefield, 72 miles from Washington. High, who holds degrees in English and creative writing from the University of Virginia, develops information services for the U.S. Department of Education.
