A day at Harpers Ferry

Still trying to see all we can while in Maryland.  Went to Harpers Ferry, had not been there for years.

Teresa almost got this young deer to come right to her.

Thought some of the store signs at Harpers Ferry were cool.

Jackson Rock, it was balanced when he named it.

Some of the building in town had narrow walkways between them.

Spring & Summer 2014

A little behind on my Posts.  We spent 3 weeks in Indiana at Harmonie State Park.  Got to visit every weekend with the grandchildren.  Got our doctor appointments done for the year.  We took 2 weeks to make our way to Maryland.  Spent a night at General Butler SP in northern Ky.  Had to make a trip to Jungle Jim's Market in Fairfield,Oh.  Had a safety valve go out on the water-heater for the rig, got lost on an 8 mile trip to get a new one in the mountains of Pa. Best thing about Pa this trip was the really nice mess of Morels we had there.  Made it to Maryland with no other issues.  It's nice to be back here, the weather is really nice when we are working, mid 70's during day and mid 50's at night time.  The only issue is that it has rained every day we've had off.
