We made it to Harpers Ferry, WV today, only about 30 miles up the trail. There was a detour due to flooding (the Potomac River runs next to the trail and floods frequently during rainy seasons), so it looked like we might have to get off the trail and ride on the roads. My good friend, John Wood, from Winchester, however, came to our rescue. John graciously picked us up at Harpers Ferry and brought us to his home for a home-cooked meal and a bed. We also had the opportunity to take showers. John and his girlfriend were wonderful hosts. I enjoyed introducing Shelton to my friend, John, and we enjoyed conversing after dinner. John invited us to stop by on our way back home should we decide to take the C&O Canal on the way back.
