Chilly day in historic Harper's Ferry

December 12, 2024 --  Last weekend, Mom and I took a scenic drive along the Potomac River, before stopping in to see Robin.  Along the way, we passed Lock 34 of the C&O Canal. There was a parking lot there. I aimed to return with Ty, so we could take a scenic stroll along the Potomac River, but when we got to the parking lot a few days later, it was closed off. So instead, we drove into the town of Harper's Ferry. I found parking near the visitor's center, and we set off exploring and learning. We probably walked about 3-4 miles. While brisk, the weather was perfect for hiking.
