Watch our other West Virginia vlogs: kzread.info/head/PLZKRTK1yCEM5a4PAiayjCpGAkRdeCeb5G NOTE: We messed up a bit of the John Brown's Fort history. You can read the full story on it here: www.nps.gov/hafe/learn/historyculture/john-brown-fort.htm Safety is our #1 priority and we want to stress that this adventure, and all future adventures, will be done responsibly and with the health of others in mind. Here are the steps we are taking everyday, including in these videos: 😷Masks and face coverings. We wear these anytime we are near others outside and especially indoors. If we don’t have a mask on in a video, it’s 99% because there was no one around. ⏰ Exploring early. We normally start at sunrise anyway because of less crowds, but especially so with COVID. We have been starting our days before sunlight so we can limit our interactions. 🧼 Washing and sanitizing our hands, especially after touching anything outside of the van. 🚐 Being in the van 95% of the time when we’re not filming. The adventures we share are a small sliver of our lives. We are staying in the van all day everyday when working and the only time we leave is to do laundry, get gas, or go to the store. 6️⃣ Keeping our distance. We are trying to stay at least 6 ft from others, which truthfully isn’t always possible (and then we make sure we cover our face).

I genuinely think you’re doing an incredible job showcasing such beautiful and under appreciated spots in the US. 🥰

We watched this video on a Friday night, and went to Harpers Ferry the next day. It was bitter cold, but clear, so didn't do the long hike but went to the Jefferson Rock, walked the bridge across the Potomac, and ate at Battle Grounds. Even had a Potomac sandwich.

If others have a bit more time, you can go just a bit past the Jefferson Rock area to find Storer College, one of the first African-American colleges after the Civil War. It’s definitely worth the extra climb from downtown. Also, on a side note, I recommend the Park Mobile app for cheaper parking than the $20 train station (National Park fee) if you can find street parking. Good find on the BattleGrounds!

Woo! We hope y’all love it! Let us know when you go 😄

I heard about this town for the first time on CNN(most underrated destinations). This really is a beautiful spot. Only Surpassed by the PNW.

Welcome to our home state. We live 45 minutes northwest in the town of Falling Waters. Please visit again.

Thank you for the welcome! ❤️

just curious, with all the exploring you did in harpers ferry, was it free to go into the historical places, building, etc. or is there a fee to do all that? how did you get that map you had with you? looking to possibly make a trip there next spring and trying to get everything in order, costs, fees, parking, etc. thanks

I hope you make it to Frederick, MD. Another great civil war town with a lot of great restaurants!

We unfortunately aren’t able to make it to MD this time, but we have heard awesome things about Frederick and cannot wait to make it there!

Great video! You are somewhat close to us (we are about 45 min drive East). Not sure if you are still in the area but if you need anything, let us know!

We have just a couple more days and then we’re heading more south!

Any chance you remember any spots to gaze out at the city at from a distance without having to hike? I'd love to take my mom for a visit and see it from a distance but she can't walk very much (much less hike) and we don't have too long so I was hoping we could just park somewhere, get out of the car and take a look before leaving.

That's a tricky one. We don't know of any spots that overlook the area without walking or hiking. If you can walk a little the railroad bridge gives a good view of the confluence as does the River Trail. Both trails are accessible.

Not to get off the whole subject but where did you get and what is the sub in the beginning of video?

That's a West Virginia style hot dog from Yann's! We ate it in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZJuZl5KlfbHej7g.html

When you go to Harper’s ferry there is a candy store that has candy’s that they stopped making and sweets from hundreds of years ago.

Very cool!

The structures in the river were old bridges. Also, it is two rivers that run in to each other under that bridge, the Shenandoah meets the Potomac!

My inner history nerd would definitely come out if I went there! What inspired you to visit West Virginia?

A couple reasons! It was on our route between seeing my family in Indiana and seeing my best friend in Virginia, so that got us thinking about it, but a lot of it was because we really enjoy sharing places that others may not know much about or that may not be as popular. And once we saw photos of the nature, we were sold!

Adam it might help if you take off the backpack to pistol squat, you're slightly off balance with it on. Oh and a question, where did you get your mask (Adam's)? I like that it looks like a scarf/collar.

Hahahah he is blaming his failure on the backpack 😉 We got those at REI. They are called Buffs and are popular for outdoor activities to cover your face. It’s really great for hiking and much easier to pull up and down than a traditional mask is.
