Wow, we were speedy today! We left camp at 6:30 a.m. and made a 20 mile hike to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia by 1:30 p.m. The temperature -- low 60s -- helped. It was also quite flat. The five miles leaving Maryland and leading to West Virginia were on the old C&O canal which led from Washington and was supposed to lead to the Ohio river. However, the railroad, which started at the same time, won out and the mule pull trail that we walked on fell out of use. It's now a bike path. Lots of history at Harpers Ferry which is located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers. The national office for the AT Conservancy is located at Harpers Ferry, too. We stopped in and had our picture taken for the 2014 scrapbook. Great Folks. On to Virginia tomorrow. Only four states to go. Take care.
