Back in the Old Dominion

So we've left Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia behind, entered the AT's longest state, and now have less than 1,000 miles left in our journey. Pretty exciting stuff. Christian's computer doesn't want to act right, so no photos, but a few videos.


Into VA...


Maryland left us with a bang...two days of temps in the 40's and quite a bit of rain. We were lucky to be meeting Christian's parents in Harper's Ferry.


While visiting the Appalachian Trail Conservancy Headquarters, we happened to get interviewed by some Korean filmmakers shooting a documentary about the AT. At the end of the interview, they presented Christian with a t-shirt.


Christian's parents joined us for the hike out of Harper's Ferry. They also brought the rain - literally. Unbeknownst to us, the day we arrived at Harper's was the 150th anniversary of John Brown's raid. The huge crowd of history enthusiasts expected to arrive was tamped down somewhat by the rain, but Christian's parents didn't shy away from the challenge.
