June 12,2002--Rock Hall, MD to Winchester, VA
This morning I, along with the Hunt/Hunt and Bowen/MacDowell car, left Rock Hall bound for Winchester, VA., a modest journey of less than 200 miles. By prearrangement we met Steve Byers of North Carolina just north of Annapolis, then swung up towards I-70 to run west past Frederick, MD and then drop down to Harper's Ferry, WV and on to Winchester.
At Harpers Ferry, the Brits wanted to get a photo of their cars on the overlook with the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers in the background below. Problem was, there was a long sawhorse across the entrance to the overlook. No one was in sight, so I moved the sawhorse to allow the cars to enter the gravel parking lot.
After we shot the photos and were ready to proceed, a young park ranger came running up, and he was HOT! He pointed out that the area was closed and we were not allowed there. I told him that the visitors were from the UK, on their way to California for the Austin-Healey event, and they simply wanted a nice photo to memorialize their visit to Harpers Ferry. They showed him their passports so he calmed down a bit, and even said that his parents had owned a Healey.
