Harpers Ferry

Wild wonderful West Virgina... Harpers Ferry from across the Potomac with the Shenandoah off in the distance. Perhaps one of the best views of any town so rich in history. Directly behind us a thousand feet above was "Maryland Heights" where Union troops held the high ground with 30 - 100 Lb Cannon Batteries and camped beginning the spring of 1862 to hold off any attempt of a rebel invasion into the north. This photo was taken mere moments before we were overrun buy a torrential thunderstorm. Over three years have passed without having to bust out the emergency Poncho. Well today - it was an emergency.
