From Phoenixville to Oaks and partway to Collegeville where I met Angelica, Danielle and Luis(?) for the end of their run back to Oaks, and then I went back to Phoenixville. The Schuylkill Canal trail South of 29 (not the road but the trail on the river side of the canal) is apparently no longer maintained, or at least not for a month or so. No less than 5 trees were down requiring the run to stop and me to pick my way through the branches (other options were dark green with poison ivy, or swimming in the stagnant water of the canal...). And the cascade (50x10m man-made stone-slab slope to drain canal overflow) which is normally wet and requires picking your way across the stones had the addition challenge of a meter deep layer of some vegetation, which I chopped my way through with a stick... no recent tracks there...
