    Default Harpers Ferry flooding.

    Hello,

    With the recent flooding at Harpers Ferry I imagine it is giving some through hikers a problem. I was thinking of taking my Sunday and going to offer hikers who wanted it rides around the flooded area (assuming everyone I pick up is a north bounder).

    First question: Anyone more familiar with the area recommend a good place I could set up to intersect hikers? I was thinking the parking area right as you cross the bridge into Harpers Ferry but I am not familiar enough with the section before that to know if it is also affected by flooding.

    Second question: Where would be a good spot to drop off? I was thinking Weaverton Cliffs parking area? Or perhaps Gathland if some wanted to skip that much.

    Thanks in advance,
    The Captain
