Harper’s Ferry, WV!
Today the wife and I took a little trip to West Virginia and visited historic Harper’s Ferry. Well we visited the town eventually. We actually went to the area to hike up the mountain and see the area that was a fort used to protect the area. WOW! what a hike it was. We were panting on the way up. There were sections of the trail that were very steep. It was quite a workout. Once we neared the top things leveled out mostly. We took some pictures along the way and loved what we saw. It was spectacular.
One thing that was surprizing was all the bugs. Yesterday we had none in Virginia, but today we were swarmed at times. I have never seen so many stink bugs in my life! they were landing on us, people around us, the cars at the bottom of the mountain! Everywhere you looked, you saw stink bugs. I would have thought I was in a rural part of New Jersey! (“Inside joke”) One cool thing we did on the was back down the mountain was we jogged. We jogged for more than a mile on the way back. It was closer to two miles. It was a rush! Today was the first day I can say I actually felt fit. I hiked a hard trail with good steep inclines and made it feeling good. I don’t remember feeling like that before. I impressed myself. That does not happen every day.
