After Hancock, we had another 30 miles to Williamsport and saw some great parts of the trail. The remains of the Round Top cement mill reminded us of the coke ovens along the GAP Trail. Devils Eyebrow was only a few hundred feet down trail from the cement mill and was pretty cool. There was a terrible storm between Hancock and Williamsport on Friday that wreaked havoc on the trail. The Nat Park Service maintains the trail so Monday they will have a lot of trees to clear. There were 5 trees down we had to climb around w/ our bikes. We saw about a dozen deer along the trail today, was able to get a pic of one. By the time we reached Feeder Dam it was pouring down rain but it felt good. Gen Stonewall Jackson's confederate troops tried to destroy this dam in 1861. Lots to see today. Short 30 miles tomorrow to Shepardstown. Looking forward to seeing Killiansburg Cave along the way.
It's been too long since I've been on that trail. Great to see the photos. Glad to see it hasn't changed much. Have a great time.
