Today was a day of magic. Not only did Red, Gary and I snag a beer each cooling in a stream just off Route 91 but when we went to the spring at to Low Gap we found two trail angels grilling burgers and handing out beer. I chowed don a couple of cheeseburgers and beers so I didn't have to cook dinner tonight. Walking today was magical,too. Trail was mostly even with a little up and down on a cloudless, sunny day. Yesterday's cold front pushed the moisture away so the day was very comfortable. Made 13.9 miles in 7.5 hours, including three breaks.
All eyes and feet are turned toward Damascus, Virginia . Trail Days are finally here!We've heard about Damascus Trail Days almost since day one on the AT. At first we never thought we'd make it but here we are, poised to hit Damascus right as Trail Days begin. We have mixed thought about the celebration. On one hand, we have business to do and having to do it in a small town jammed with 20,000 people may be difficult. On the other hand, it may be fun. Maybe I'll see some old friends there.
