Day 4

Willamsport, MD to Shepardstown, WV probably started off our roughest yet. Both of us felt sore thighs only when we walked. Red Roof was cheap but the addage "you get what you pay for" certainly applied. Once on the trail we stretched well and the sore thighs went away w/ in the first mile. There were a few lock houses along the way and all were pretty nicely restored. We had a 4 mile detour off the trail due to construction of the trail. Through farms, housing plans, then rolling hills and finally back to the trail. There were not any towns between so we chowed down on granola, bananas and an orange. (Any wonder why Jason's lost 6 lbs on this trip already?) We stopped off at the Killiansburg Cave (or we think - it wasn't marked). Legend has it that the women and children hid in these caves while the men fought during the Civil War. Our day ended coming across the bridge from MD to WV and arriving at the Bavarian Inn for our nights stay...needless to say I may have a hard time getting Rae back on the trail in the am. Shepardstown is a pretty cool college town. We grabbed a quick bite at the Mellow Moods Cafe & Juice bar. An all veggie & munster cheese sandwich and a cous cous kind of side w/ balsamic. Added two fruit and veggie smoothies. Just what we needed. Dinner at the Bavarian tonight.
