just finished 5 day Pitts to DC. Be sure to have extra water and energy bars/snacks with you on the C&O portion. Not all the water pumps seemed to be primed/working and many of the restaurants were closed (maybe because of the season) or were far off the canal. Found almost nothing convenient and open from Cumberland to Hancock.

Where did you stay each night?
Did you try Bill's Place in Little Orleans?

Yes, its after labor day.
Both Bills Place in Orleans is closed Mondays and Tuesdays...and the Schoolhouse Kitchen in Oldtown are closed on Mondays. Those are the two places I try to stop between Hancock and Cumberland.
Just after the west entrance of the Paw Paw tunnel you could leave the towpath and travel on route 51 for around a mile to get to Paw Paw WV and eat at the Liberty minimart.

You will go up a major hill so be prepared to use different muscles.
