Skyline Drive and the Deserted Campground. 8/20/2012

Woke up to no rain! Ate breakfast at the Big Meadows Lodge. Cheap breakfast with wonderful coffee. Headed out at 9:00 a.m. Leisurely is our style.

Drove to Harpers Ferry. John was surprised at the sites-- great natural beauty, historic town, John Brown information, and ice cream. There was also the John Brown wax museum. John talked me out of paying the seven dollar entrance fee... but I already regret the decision. John Brown AND a wax museum- TOGETHER!! I shall return.

We were on the bridge that crosses the Potomac when a train passed within three feet. Fun and scary.

We have been riding fewer miles than planned due to the rain. Tonight we stopped right as it began to pour rain. The Indian Rock Campground near York. The place seemed deserted. Gunshots heard nearby. Big flocks of black birds circling overhead. We sat under an awning for two hours, waiting for the rain to let up.
