Day 61: C&O Canal Trail

April 1st

Today we stopped over in Harper's Ferry, West Virginia - the site of the radical abolitionist John Brown's rebellion. One of today's photos shows his fort.

Harper's Ferry is a cute little historic town, and we ate dinner on a little patio overlooking the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. It's a very beautiful spot, and we had great weather this afternoon. It's currently raining, but we are snug inside our tent.

Not much to report today, but we continue to meet great folks along the trail. Our camping mates tonight are two schoolteachers from DC who are taking a weekend bike trip on the trail.

Photos today: John Brown's fort, a railroad tunnel leading into town, and overlooking the confluence.
