A great walk into Harpers Ferry, nearly the midpoint of the AT. We can't believe we are here. 

Amazed, proud and a little overwhelmed realizing that we have another nearly 1200 miles to walk. But no matter, we are here and this has been the goal from the beginning as Maine just seemed to far. Now we are ready to reset our objective north, to the end of the trail, Mt Katahdin in Maine.

Harpers Ferry is a beautiful and historically significant town just 55 miles from Washington. It is here that John Brown made his heroic stand against slavery and was hung for it. This strategic town at the juncture of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers was a military objective of both the Union and Confederate forces in the Civil War.

Tomorrow we rest. After 9 days of more than 20 miles/33km per day feet and knees desperately need a break.
