I left Harper's Ferry this morning around 9am and had a great 18 mile
hike. It's hard to believe how little time you spend in West
Virginia, especially compared to how much time you spend in Virginia.
As soon as you cross the Potomac you are already in Maryland. Maryland
is beautiful! I love it. It helps that it is practically flat as a
fritter. Amazingly, we will only spend one more day in this lovely
state.
Timber, Safari, and I are camped at the Dahlgren Backpacking
Campground. It's this great flat, grassy campground that even has a
bathroom complete with showers. It's absolutely awesome! And the best
part is that it's free! Oh, and it's only a quarter mile from the
road.... The road that has a restaurant close by. Not just any
restaurant either. This is a really nice, let's see, I guess you would
call this fine dining, kind of place. The kind you rarely see smelly
people with mud on their legs and hideously colored crocs on their
feet. Did that stop us? Well hell no. You can still eat a five course
meal with muddy zip-off pants and bandana on your head! And super
sweet Safari bought dinner. Thank you Safari! That was WAY better
than anything in my food bag!
I am happy you finally see the joys of being a flatlander. I have been telling you for years that the hill people have have too many up and downs.
ReplyDeleteStay dry, be safe, eat well and get back here as soon possible and I'll show you more joys of the flat lands.
