Damascus VA

Well alot has happened since I last posted in Hot Springs.

But probably the biggest change since then is that I've upped my mileage by a lot. Since Hot Springs I've only had two 11 mile days, everything else has been 15 miles and up. My two biggest days to date so far have been 21 miles and 22 miles. To give a rough estimate I did alittle under 200 miles in 10 days. So by the time I got to Damascus I was dead tired.
Damascus is a nice little town, its extremely hiker friendly. I got in on the 24th and am hiking out today. The extended stay was nice because it gave my body a chance to rest up. Also my friend Meg from Australlia come to visit so we got to catch-up over the last few days since I haven't seen here since summer camp last year. We stayed at a hiker hostel which was nice so she was able to get a taste of the hiker community. So like I said we just hung out and caught up. Two days ago we went to the park and set up my hammock cause the weather was beautiful. Yesterday we caught a movie. It was a very relaxing time. But now I'm ready to start hiking again.
Hope all is well!
