We greatly enjoyed a gentle family time--four generations in two sites--ample space between campers but high fun energy in the air. Bikers, hikers, boaters enjoying themselves. We were just chilling this weekend highlighted by my sons playing guitar around the campfire. On other trips, we have canoed on Antietam Creek (taking out at the campground), canoed on the Potomac (also taking out at the campground), biked down to Harpers Ferry for the day and come back to camp, and, one September, picked Paw Paws (a native fruit Jefferson was fascinated by).
I find the aqueduct just southeast of the campground to be fascinating--the kids liked the idea of a swimming pool on top of a bridge to get the canal boats over the creek. On this trip, a few minutes after we broke camp, we were touring the Antietam battlefield. Thanks.
