Day 99

Weather:
Hot, high around 83 degrees.

Today’s Hike:
Harpers Ferry to Ed Garvey Shelter – 7.0 miles

The Diva's aren't hiking out until Tuesday morning, so in an effort to hike with them for a bit we divided our hike out of Harpers Ferry between 2-days. Today, Muster and I hiked 7 miles to Ed Garvey shelter. The hike out of Harpers Ferry was amazing. The AT brings you through the town’s historic district. Around 9:20am we stopped at Jefferson's Rock (named after Thomas Jefferson) for a 20 minute nap then crossed over the Potamac River into Maryland. After walking another mile we celebrated our entrance into our 6th state with a 3 hour nap by the river. After a late lunch we finally forced ourselves to our feet and walked the rest of the 5 miles to the shelter.
