We have been bit by the AT bug!  It was finally a beautiful weekend and we needed to get out on the trail.  Daddy Long Legs and I woke up on Saturday morning and decided to drive five hours to Harpers Ferry and do some hiking.  We drove down on Saturday and visited the ATC on Sunday morning.  We then started our hike northbound on the AT.  We climbed Weaverton Cliffs and continued to the Ed Garvey shelter.  What a beautiful shelter!!!  We had lunch and talked to a group of boy scouts that were out doing a weekend backpacking trip.  After lunch, we headed back southbound and stopped to enjoy the view from the cliffs.  It was a gorgeous day.  Nice easy hiking with just a day pack.  It felt GREAT to be out on the trail again.  We are really looking forward to June 23rd when we will be starting our adventure!
