    Don't use any lotions. Injinji socks, followed by a pair of normal socks have kept me blister free.
    I wouldn't want to use a lotion as i sweat out of my feet at an alarming rate.

    I would head South. 3 days of hiking it is possible to do the entire 40 miles. It's easy hiking bar the climb to High Rock & Lambs Knoll. If her prices are crazy high for you, I could pick you up.

    The 3 miles where it joins the C&O canal outside Harpers Ferry. Boring, monotonous & hard on the feet.

    I mentioned no names, & obviously I do not know her as I can't place her name. Hence I asked!
    Nor do I suggest that she was doped. Why so combative?
