We had the schedule of 2 short 40 mile days and then a final 15 into town on Friday morning. We continued from the campsite to Harpers Ferry and walked across the foot bridge into town in West Virginia. This bridge and town is where the C&O towpath cross with the Appalachian trail. The town of Harpers Ferry is almost exactly 1/2 way on the trail from Maine to Georgia. The town is a historic town with many themed rooms to visit. We ate lunch in an outside restaurant which was filled with cyclist and especially backpackers as well as some normal tourist.
After walking back to the bikes on the Maryland side of the bridge we continued to the Family Campground. It was nice campgroud and RV park along the river. We had showers and washed our clothes as best we could in the shower house. Hung them up to dry on our makeshift clothesline in the pavilion where we had our tents. Today along the river from Harpers Ferry to Brunswick and perhaps longer there were rafts and tubes floating down the river. The campgroud took groups in with tubes to float back to the campground.
The next morning we we back into town and found the Coffee shop in the old Church. Very beautiful. We also found a $ store after breakfast that was further off route but we were both out of food and needed to stockup on enough food to finishe the last of the tour.
