Harpers Ferry


My buddies the "broomstick brothers" as we enter Harpers Ferry, W.VA.

and 10 minutes later when it began to pour. Taken from my hostel , the Town Inn.  Harpers Ferry was a very important town during the civil war. It was here that the bloodiest day of the war took place. An estimated 21,000 men were wounded during the battle of Antietam nearby. The town was very strategic because this is where the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers meet.
