hello everyone,
I am doing a solo 3 nights on the trail this week and I am going to Harpers Ferry by train. I have never been on this part of the AT, so after I check out some of the battlefields and civil war sites in HF, I would like to do 3 nights on the trail. My question is should I go North or head South? I don't know of any loop trails where camping is permitted around there, but I am taking my hammock so I'll be stealth camping. Anyhow, just wandering which way would be best up to about forty miles from HF in either direction. Looking for water sources, views, awesome campsites are a huge plus.
thanks
