Arriving in Harper's Ferry on the 7th after a 22-24 mile day, I camped at the C&O Canal Hiker Biker for the night waiting for my dad to pick me up the next day. At this point I had decided to "flip-flop" and restart my trip on Mt Katahdin to hike south. But a week and a half of R&R was needed.
On August 9, the New York Times published this surprising news:
You gotta' remember this is in the days of no cell phones, computer and even the newspapers were a day late in reporting stuff. Our Baltimore Sun was published twice a day and that was fast.
I am going to take a similar break in my AT story and talk about some other things until I get to Maine.
