Apr 17 - Day 39 - Low gap to Damascus - 15.2mi/24.5km - MILE 469.3

It seems that if everything is perfect, it is difficult to make an interesting or entertaining post. Again we are at the trail head at 830 with 15.2 miles to go before we rest. But everything is perfect. Hot shower, slept well in a bed, had a great dinner out, breakfast prepared for us, ride to the trail, perfect weather and perfect trail conditions. 

There is nothing to report except we have achieved the incredible milestone of crossing the state line into Virginia and reaching Damascus! That is 3 states down, 11 to go. Incredible. 

 

We are revelling in the thought of 2 days off. No hiking boots, sweaty clothes, damp sleeping bags or food 'mush'. We are so appreciative of everything around us and how fortunate we are. We are in good heath, without injury, we are lean, mean, walking machines! We are going to Maine. It would be so great if you could support our effort with a donation to the Alzheimer Society. 

We have made it to Damascus!!! Mile 469.3/754.4km. The sun is out and it is a perfect day! Two zero days coming up. Rest for weary feet, knees, shoulders, backs and arms. Back on the trail Monday.
