I was surprised, too, but there was a pavement stretch southeast of Harper's that appeared to have been there for a while. New surface looked like it would extend the pavement a couple of miles northwest of the Harper's. And I think there's some pavement going into DC, but not the whole way. Although there is pavement paralleling some stretches as you approach downtown. I got some weird looks for riding the dirt when the pavement was right there, but I was like, "I've been on this trail for 180 miles. I'm not skipping the last 6."
