We suppose this might be a good time to define the trips we'll take on our ersatz tour. Well divide the our 20 mile trek into 3 parts:

1) Keyes Gap(State Route 9) north to Harpers Ferry,

2) Keyes Gap(State Route 9) south to the Blackburn Trail Center and,

3) The Blackburn Trail Center south to Snickers Gap(State Route 7) in Virginia.

We admit we're neophytes at this sort of endeavor but we tend to get better with age. As we hone our skills, we hope to be able to make the navigation thru the journey a smooth experience. We'll include side trails as we get volunteers to take the trip, cameras at the ready, to document their journeys.

Being  a community website, we'd like to make this project a community effort. We'll welcome volunteers, advice and technical expertise with open arms. And when we say "Community" we mean the community of persons who love and respect this wonderful gift of nature, the Appalachian Trail.

Suggestions, comments. offers of assistance, Yadda, Yadda, Yadda, can be sent to admin@shannondale.org
