Day 2 Antietam and Harpers Ferry

Looking to get out of the heat. Found the C&O canal on the way to Antietam.
Then to the Antietam Battlefield. Watched a couple of good films on the battle and then drove around the battlefield. It was to hot to walk much.



Burnside Bridge


It was as all battlefiels are, impressive and awe inspiring.





Bloody Lane

After the battlefield we drove to Harpers Ferry to look at the old town. Again it was still to hot to walk around much.



Recognize this from the movie "Gods and Generals" ?

Then we rode to a KOA campground where we stayed the night. The camp ground and the people were nice but the actual tent sites were railroad gravel (very sharp) and they put a hole in our ground cover. It started to rain hard and Dori went out into the rain (to get her rain gear out of the trunk)and stubbed her toe on a railroad tie.
