Good luck with that

OK, we'll be there by 10:40.

Got the confirmation from River Riders, so we're good to go on Sunday at 1:15. Now we have to hope for good weather!

As of right now, Accuweather.com is saying that Sunday's weather at Harpers Ferry will be delightful. How's that for a forecast!

I'm so excited. I've never spent any real time in West Virginia! I hope they have patches. I have patches of all of the places I have been to. okay now you know my super dorky collecting habit.

Maybe if you're nice and behave yourself you can convince someone to take you up to the Appalachian Trail HQs in Harpers Ferry

**HillSlugger** · 08-05-2008, 04:48 AM

Mad, I have room for you in my car. In my case it would be best if you could get to the Shady Grove Road end of the Red Line. Let me know.

**madscot13** · 08-05-2008, 04:17 PM

how far away is the HQ? a lot of my patches are junior ranger badges from national parks.

**Zen** · 08-05-2008, 04:54 PM

How about this?

The AT HQ is here

The AT HQ is only a couple miles from River Riders. There's also the National Park Service bookstore/gift shop in Harper's Ferry, at the bottom of the hill from the AT HQ. I believe they have patches, also.

Depending on what time it is when we get finished tubing, I'd be up for a meander around Harper's Ferry (and ice cream!!

). If anyone's interested, I'd suggest we head from River Riders to the official parking area off of Rte 340, then take the Park Service shuttle down into town. Parking in Harper's Ferry is pretty much non-existent on the weekends in summer.

I did not know that it was such a hip- happening place! I did look at staying there for a night earlier and everything was booked. I just thought it was the small number of rooms. I would be up for a meander but that will depend on my ride.

**Kalidurga** · 08-06-2008, 02:48 AM

I'm sure that between the bunch of us, someone can make sure you get home.

I dunno if it's hip, but Harper's Ferry is definitely very cool, especially if you've got any interest in U.S. Civil War history. Even if you're not into that, though, it's located in a gorgeous area and has a few fun little shops. And both Charlestown and Shepherdstown are only a short drive away. And, and, and...

I'll shut up now

**madscot13** · 08-06-2008, 04:40 PM

If nothing else, i saw that there was a few trains that run up there. Also next weekend I will miss my training ride and I will have to substitute it with another- 120 miles in a day should do it.

**HillSlugger** · 08-06-2008, 04:48 PM

Mad, do you want a ride with me?

**madscot13** · 08-06-2008, 05:14 PM

Oh shoot, sorry I missed your post. yes, I think I will ride with you the other car seems pretty tight. Give me a time and a more specific spot to meet you.
