While Mitch was working two weekends ago, I went to check off another destination on my Maryland area bucket list. I headed 65 miles east to Harper's Ferry, West Virginia. For all those non-history buffs, Harper's Ferry has significance dating back to the Civil War with the John Brown raid (an attempt to try to free slaves). Not only does it have a lot of history, but the landscape is beautiful. There are many trails to hike. The area is pretty montainous so I had a pretty stenduous workout. If you have a 3 day weekend or maybe even two days, I would absolutely recommend this to you. It's pretty, quaint, and fun.
