No Rain, No Maine

Ducks love water!!!  I like water, but I don't LOVE water......water, water everywhere.......rain! rain! go away for a little while so I, and my things (including my phone), can dry out.  

I'll be in Virginia for a while traveling its 550 miles across and then 4 miles through West Va.....the longest and shortest states on the AT.

5/14/13:  Today I'm in Bland, Va. visiting Subway and headed to DQ too.  Of course, Thursday I will be going back to Damascus for Trail Days....looking forward to that!!!

5/17- 5/20 - Trail Days
    Got a ride back to Damascus from a fellow hiker "Cleveland". He picked "Willow/Grape Drink" and I up in Pearisburg, VA (~630 miles) and is going to drop us off back there after the weekend.
We stayed in "tent city" (a huge field with hundreds of campers) and receive free showers (from a disaster relief group), 3 free meals a day (donated by different churches), free hair cut and foot massages. Doctors come and look at peoples feet and legs to make sure they are healthy. We are VERY taken care of. Lots  and lots of gear representatives that will fix old, torn or broken gear for free. Its awesome!

Supposed to do trail maintance the 3 days following Trail Days and will receive free board and transportation in exchange for fixing trails.
