4 States in One Day....

We left Virginia in the late afternoon.  Traveling North through rolling fields, farms and green pastures there were lingering cattle feasting on the lush landscape.  Working our way through small towns we found the Shenandoah River.  Located in West Virginia near Harper's Ferry, this river converges with the Potomac River to make a large flowing river with rafters enjoying  an easy ride.   Factoid:  The Shenandoah and the Nile River are the only two rivers which flow from South to North.  


This was a picture from the cliff above Harper's Ferry.  We did not take this picture because it was too much of a climb on foot.  I found this on the internet to show the area.  


Our drive was a short one this leg just 2 hours.  Going from Virginia to Pennsylvania we hit 4 states, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania.  Landing in the historic town of Gettysburg.  Truly a place I have always wanted to visit since studying the civil war back in school.  

Tom found an RV park just outside of town where people can stay who are traveling with horses too.   This is the first park we found where Horses stay too, which I found to be really exciting.  

Venturing out to Gettysburg is the next post....
