Damascus Virginia, the AT Town

 Well over 400 miles is under your belt when you leave Tennessee and enter Virginia. Stayed in a motel for $7.28 and got some Ice Cream in a Dairy Queen.  Yesterday, the fifth of July 1974 we took a break from the wet and rainy trail on this road.


In the town did the usual, hit the Post Office where I got my Gerry Lodgepole tent that had been forwarded from further north at my request.  And of course got my wash done and a good shower.  Here is a shot of the tent behind the motel.


The blue sleeping bag is mine, a Trailwise Slimline.
