I'll be resting today in Damascus while the town starts gearing up for the "Trail Days" festival where thousands of AT hikers come to town for the festival this weekend. Here are some pictures from the past several days...

Let us know where you stayed in Damascus. Our group wasn't enamored with our site.
I bet you didn't know VA was so wide. You will love Berea, KY upcoming.

James,
We stayed at the Iron Horse in the party room above the restaurant. It is 2 miles west of Damascus. We were pleased with it and their restaurant had cheap specials with large portions.
i love that picture of june. glad you're enjoying yourself chad! and that you're posting pictures.
