I go hiking in that general area pretty often. Ever hike up to Maryland Heights overlooking Harpers Ferry from the MD side? Beautiful spot.
Back when I was heavy into hanging dead critters from my wall, my taxidermist lived in Burkitssville. I never did see that movie though. Not my cuppa.

One of the best! I used to drive through there a lot commuting between Baltimore and Summit Point. Love that area.

Yeah, there was that, plus I had forgotten how annoying a group of immature twentysomethings can be.
If I had been backpacking with them I would have kicked every one of their asses the first day out.

Just finished watching "The Last White Knight" on Netflix.
A really interesting documentary on racism.
I highly recommend it.

You just convinced me to do that too so I went to Amazon. When I saw the price was $29.00 I decided to check eBay, just in tie to snag the last brand new complete second season for $18.00 whipped!
Wohoo!
Got an offer in on Season 3 too.
