  • Hi everyone! Nonnie here.
    Today, I arrived in Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, to return to hiking the Appalachian Trail after having to come off trail due to problems with my feet. It’s one month later, and I'm thrilled to return to try again.
    My husband and I visited the headquarters of the ATC, toured this beautiful little town, and walked over the iconic C & O Railroad trestle, over the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers.

    Haha! Now THIS is funny, because I was just getting on to YT to check in with you and see how you’re doing, when the notification came up! You’re in my neck of the woods now. The Rabbit Hole is delicious. Isn’t Harpers Ferry charming? MD is beautiful, IMHO, Gathland, Washington Monument, South Mountain. Wishing you the best and glad to see you back! Happy trails! 🥰🥾
