So Boundless and I cranked out a few big days to get to Damascus, VA in time for Trail Days. It's a big shindig for all sorts of outdoors vendors and people interested in it. Yesterday we got into town about 12:30, got lunch (a double bacon cheeseburger, corndog, and fries), and set up our tents in "tent city". Tent city is a public area where everyone pitches their tents so they don't have to pay for a room in a hotel (since there are 2 in town). There will be thousands of people here- people who have hiked in years past, people hiking this year, and people that want to hike the AT.
There is a Baptist Church here that puts together a clinic where they have doctors and blood tests and all that. This lady went to town on my blisters! I'll put up some pics of those here soon too. I was going to take care of them myself, but she insisted and did a pretty good job- I must say. Other than that I'm healthy although I "should probably back off" and have a Jesus experience. If I do those then I should be right as rain!
Last night people were up drinking and smoking dope till 4 am then the guys that passed out yesterday at 7 got up at 5:30 and were talking. I didn't sleep much. So I got up and picked up the trash from last night. It was better than doing nothing!
Life is good. I'm excited to see what else Damascus has to offer!
