“They’d never make it past South Mountain, let alone survive all the way to Cumberland...and there’s a whole lot of “nowhere” between those places where they’ll never find you.”
Been thru there a few times. Beautiful country. And you’re right. Be completely impossible for any city-bred army like Antifa to fight there. They’d be sliced and diced, hog tied and left to die as buzzard food.
Every year the “RAGNAR” relay used to run from Cumberland down the towpath and pop out right at the rt 40 intersection by my house.
I’d watch these weirdos in tutus and rainbow leotards run up the mountain and then down the other side on their way to the next leg of the C&O Canal.
Some poor state trooper always got the job of watching the intersection and I went out to ask if they needed anything on their long, freaky vigil.
One night, there was a HUGE porcupine not even yielding to cars and that cop and I sat there waiting to see what would happen when it met the next dude in ballet gear but the porky moved on, dang it.
But last year the relay didn’t happen.
So I went and looked up why.
Turns out the tough “RAGNAR” viking wannabes felt too “uncomfortable” coming through our “inhospitable” area to do the relay anymore.
Now they do it down near the ‘burbs of DC.
I laughed.
