Brunswick Family Campground
Brunswick, Maryland
Last night we were enjoying a campfire with some of our neighbors when a very bad storm blew in. Everyone quickly retreated to their campers and didn't come out until this morning. Our camper was fine but we did find a tree limb in the bed of the pickup.
As we were driving up to Antietam this morning we came across many tree limbs in the road. The haze in this photo isn't pollution - it's humidity.
When we arrived at the visitor center we were notified that all the electricity to the park was out due to the storm the previous night.
I can make do without seeing the film and some of the exhibits, but the rest rooms were CLOSED. Toilets flush fine without power but no one was allowed in because there were no lights (liability I suppose).
We now know what it was like to be here in 1862 with no electricity or indoor plumbing.
The rangers did a wonderful job improvising and did several spontaneous programs.
When we arrived at Harper's Ferry we were pleased to find out that the visitor center had electricity and the restrooms were open.
It must be laundry day.
We were walking back across this old railroad bridge when a train came out of the tunnel. I almost jumped off the bridge.
Lots of people were enjoying the river today. These people were tubing down the Potomac River.
It was a shame that we needed to get back to the camper before the rain started again. Otherwise we could have hiked to Maine or Georgia.
You guys are covering a lot of territory. I don't think we're going to make it to Harper's Ferry this time. Looking at your humidity makes me remember why I do not like the coast. Hopefully it will be better in September.
