MDAT Finale

Over Labor Day (yes, that long ago), Vijay and I finally finished the MDAT. We started where we last ended, at Gathland State Park, and continued along the flat ridge for 6 miles, then descended to the C&O Canal for the final 4 into Harpers Ferry, WV.

The weather was somehwat iffy. It had rained a few inches in the preceeding days, and was misty with occasional light rain during the hike. I had anticipated sloppy trail conditions, but it was not that bad.

At the end, we were able to see trains go through the tunnel across the river from Harpers Ferry. Vijay and I capped the day off with a visit to the ATC office (the hardest part of the hike), and met up with Lisa and Tracie for lunch at the uber-international Armory Pub.
