May 15th
Thankfully, it isn't every day that I'm near a flood zone. Since the weather seemed better today I decided to go back to Harpers Ferry. There were still things I wanted to do and see there.
There is a trail that runs from the parking lot to what they call Lower Town. I decided to hike the trail instead of taking the bus. There are a few trails that led off of the main one. Some of these had information signs. Some had informatrrion signs that were partially flooded. I skipped those.

| Waterfall. |
 |
| Turtles. |
 |
| There is a fish underwater there. |
 |
| Deer. |
 |
| Just after the train bridge there is a sign. |
 |
| Turtle! |
 |
| My finger is pointing to approximately where I walked under that bridge yesterday. It was grassy then. |
 |
| Yesterday I shared pictures of a sign and where a tree went missing. This is that same place, only farther away. |
 |
| Zooming in. |
 |
| The water level is about 20 feet. Yesterday it was around 17 feet. I'm not sure how high it got at its peak. |
 |
| Captain Lewis (of Lewis & Clark) purchased supplies in Harpers Ferry for his famous exploration. |
 |
| This is the place on the AT I fell yesterday. I didn't fall today. |
 |
| Crossing the Shenandoah River. |
 |
| Under the highway. |
 |
| Dead wood, probably from a previous flooding. |
 |
| Heading back to town. |
 |
| There is a section dealing with architecture and archeology. |
 |
| Interesting architecture. |
 |
| A sparrow really wanted my attention. |
 |
| Yesterday I was able to walk to those stairs early in the day, but not later. It is much more flooded in this picture. |
 |
| Lens claims this is a mock strawberry. |
 |
| Through the screen, outside my tent. I'm at a hostel tonight. |
