We did another 21 mile hike today, so we've now done four 20-plus mile days. We have another scheduled for tomorrow which will leave us in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The Appalachian Trail Conservancy is in Harpers Ferry, so thru-hikers stop in to get a number. If I make it to Springer Mountain, Georgia, I will be published in their annual publication. I hope I make it; so far so good. We are staying in Dahlgren Backpack Campground tonight. They have free showers and tenting.
Maryland has been an easy hike: plenty of flat trails and not too difficult to make miles. We went by the first George Washington monument today. It's at the top of a hill and was built in 1832. Apparently, the good folks from Maryland were the first to recognize his stature as a great American. Quite a view of the surrounding countryside.
