Day 78 - Harpers Ferry Hostel to Dalgren Campground

Up and out late, per usual. It really looked like rain. Was looking forward to the “National Geographic” view from Weverton Cliffs. Must be much different on a clear day. I didn’t even take a picture.

Hiked to the Ed Garvey Shelter, which is huge and new and beautiful, for a break. All of a sudden Julia walked in, of 'Julia and Virginia' fame. I guess Virginia bailed in Daleville, and now Julia is going it alone. Looks good. Goes by Jules now, but everyone calls her “the Julinator.”

Stopped and had lunch at some picnic grounds. The walking was pretty easy, but the rocks are tough on the feet and knees. Disgustingly humid -- soaking wet hair. Staying at a public campground with free hot (lukewarm, rather disgusting) shower. Lots of people here. No rain yet.

Murph treated everyone to s'mores, courtesy of one of her patients, Thomas. Slept really well. These new 29 decibel earplugs block all noise -- chirping birds and tent zippers and all.
