I had the pleasure today of meeting Riels, a section hiker, who is restarting his journey to Springer. We crossed paths in Union Station while waiting for the MARC train to depart to West Virginia. He was unaware that the Harpers Ferry station stop is closed through September 19. I was at the right place, right time and drove him to the trailhead in Harpers Ferry from the Brunswick, MD stop.
He was anxious to hit the trail and at 7:00 PM he was heading southbound. Let’s wish him well as he hikes to Springer. His trail journal is very informative and I am sure he would welcome words of encouragement.
