The next day we took a bus to Harpers Ferry. Our nice weather turned bad - it rained most of the time we were there. The hardier souls of the group immediately marched over the Potomac to hike to the top of Maryland Heights. Harpers Ferry from the Maryland side (taken by one of the hardy souls.) Photo by Roy.
