Thursday we walked 15 miles to Knoxville, MD and stayed in a hostel. Harpers Ferry is our goal. The town is in West Virginia and is at the confluence of the Shanandoah and Potomac rivers. It is also the home of the ATC headquarters.

When we arrived at the ATC we met Laurie Pottinger. She took our picture and placed it in the book of this year's hikers. There Are Nobos, Sobos,section hikers and Alternate. We are the 12th and 13th Alternate hikers to come through the ATC this year.

Here we are in Harpers Ferry for Easter Sunday. Glen, a fellow hiker, invited us to stay at his home outside Harpers Ferry and enjoy Easter with his family. Lee gathered eggs for breakfast.

Tomorrow morning Glen will drop us off at the trail where we will begin the section called "The Rollercoaster".
