Great Allegheny Passage Trekkers take in the history of Harpers Ferry, WV

A nice rest day for the Great Allegheny Passage Trekkers. After waking up to a delicious pancake breakfast in our hostel, we headed into the town of Harpers Ferry for some historical sightseeing. We found a table set up with all sorts of games from the Civil War era, and decided to play a game of croquet. Shaun took an early advantage, but Nielsen wound up victorious. We also played a game of Graces for an hour. We ate a delicious lunch at a local restaurant and walked around some museums and learned more about the towns history. There was even a candy store dedicated to candies as they were made in their original time periods, with some treats being hundreds of years old. We then returned to the hostel for a delicious chicken fajita dinner and the hostel staff made us a campfire and we made s'mores. We enjoyed hot showers and tomorrow we make more headway towards DC
