06-10-13 Somewhere near Charles Town, West Virginia



Rain, again. I was thankful not to have to hike in it today. We drove over to Charles Town, West Virginia to look around. Charles Town was founded by George Washington's youngest brother, Charles.

We saw the courthouse where John Brown was brought to and tried and convicted for treason. Also nearby was where he was hung.

We saw Charles Washington's house, "Happy Retreat," surprising, for sale. Looked for a flyer to see an asking price, but none were available.

Had an early dinner at a local restaurant in Harper's Ferry. Scurried back to the campsite during the thunderstorm and enjoyed a quiet evening tucked away from the rain.
