I am doing a project in school called the Washington County project. My goal is to write as much information about each of the following places in Washington County: Washington County airport, Children's Village, WCRH, YMCA, Washington Monument, Appalachian Trail.C&O Canal, Sideling Hill, Crystal Grottoes, and Wilson's Store and Wilson's School. This is Outside Hagerstown. We are doing this project to learn about Washington County. Goodbye!

Appalachian Trail

This is a shelter where hikers sleep and eat on the Appalachian Trail. 

This is me in a shelter.

This is my little brother, Micah, standing by the Washington Monument sign. We walked on the Appalachian Trail to get to the monument. 

This is the Appalachian Trail.

This is me on the Appalachian Trail. 

This is a map of Maryland's portion of the Appalachian Trail.

This is a blaze, a white mark to mark the Appalachian Trail. Two marks means
a turn is near in the trail. Maintained side trails are represented with a blue blaze.

The Appalachian Trail is a trail from Maine to Georgia. It would take a long time to walk this trail. It is an enjoyed trail by many people. They have blazes (white paint marks) to mark the trail on posts, rocks, and trees. There are shelters to camp in, too. There are six shelters in Maryland, about 4 to 8 miles apart.
Horses, bikes, and motorized vehicles are not allowed on the trail.
