There's good train service. All you need is to get to the Union Station in DC from the airport.

One-way fare from Union Station to Harpers Ferry is $9.00. For additional information about MARC train schedules and ticket reservations, call 1-800-325-RAIL or visit the MARC Website »

It ios called the Capital Limited.
If you really worry about your civil rights being trampled on, trample on the C&O canal towpath to Harpers Ferry. A nice 61 mile walk from Georgetown after a 5 dollar cab ride from Ray-Gun airport. First campground is at Swain's Lock milepost 12.6. No better way to go hiking than to go hiking.
Thanks for the input. I,m feeling better, hate going in blind.Nick, I have reservations at the hostel in hp, but thanks for the comment. I haD NO IDEA there was an actual trail along the tow path. (someday)
Sometimes you can't hear them talk..Other times you can.
The same old cliches.."Is that a woman or a man?"
You always seem out-numbered..You don't dare make a stand.
I've done the western 40 miles or so on foot. I will finish by bike someday, it goes by too slowly hiking.
Saturday while cycling the Great Allegheny Passage, I met a backpacker who had hiked the C&O Canal in 9 days on a previous trip. He apparently prefers flat-as-a-board hiking but unlike the Canal, the Great Allegheny Passage's water sources aren't as frequent so he was lugging a 60 lb pack with 5 liters of water.
Cycling trails like these is more fun.

A great place to stay in DC. Near the mall and Old Post Office (good food, cheap downstairs). Subways 1 or 2 blocks. 17th and R good place to look for eateries. Italina Kitchen - again lots of food / ressonable.
It's also close to the Convention Center and the Verizon Center (the latter is where the Wizards and Caps play).
Among restaurants within reasonable walking distance is the Cafe Mozart on H St. between 13th and 14th. Good German food plus German beer and wine as well as pastries. It features both a deli and a sit-down restaurant.
you can take the metro rail transit right from reagan airport to union station for a couple of bucks; and then pick up the marc train from there, as mentioned above.
