Appalachian Trail - Update 5/2/08


My son e-mailed me last evening and he is now in Virginia - in the town of Damascus, population 981 as of the last census. At this point he has covered the 446 miles of the Appalachian Trail in Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. Now he has 544 miles to go to traverse Virginia, which has the longest segment of the Trail of any state. He plans on spending the day in Damascus, which caters to through hikers and other nature lovers, and hopefully will upload additional pictures before continuing northward. He is making amazing time and I am very proud of him.

How exciting! That looks like a great place, Damascus VA. I'd be proud of him, too.
