We started the day in Baltimore, MD again and went to the location where the Militias defeated the British in their attempt to attack the city from the land. This even was critical to the defense of Baltimore and could very well have been immortalized in the Star Spangled Banner too.
Then we visited the River Walk and had a great time.
We ended the day by visiting the Antietam Battlefield. I was completely overwhelmed at seeing the landscape where 23,000 men died, were wounded or lost in some way in the Civil War there. I took no pictures because I could not see very well because I was so overcome.
Today, we stumbled upon lock #44 of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal tucked away. It was cool to see a place where every load that came to be transported on the canal came on a horse-drawn wagon.
We later found a section of where the Buchanan Trail intersected the Appalachian Trail - a trail that ran from Georgia to Maine. Pretty cool huh?
