Trail Days

Wow! What a blast Trail Days was! I still think that Hot Springs was a better time overall, but Damascus definitely was a good time. We stayed in "Tent City", which was packed of both current and former thru hikers/section hikers. Saturday was the big parade... which was basically just a giant water balloon fight between the hikers and the townies. It was a blast! There were vendors there (and eric and I bought kilts for the rest of the trail), along with free gear repair. There were bon fires and drum circles and dancing and food! Everyone got a chance to rest up and heal the feet, which was crucial! The town is pretty cool for letting so many hikers just come in and pretty much take over their town for a weekend. Good times indeed!
