Mustang Sally’s Journal
May 15th, 2008 Posted in UncategorizedHi Folks:
Well, its Sunday, Mother’s Day, and I have been in Damascus since Friday. Will leave here tomorrow after visiting the post office. Going to send some stuff home and then bounce a box to Atkins, VA (my next supply stop) and mail a letter.
Had a big rain storm the last nite on the trail before coming down to Damascus. In the shelter we have 8 people in a shelter that was made for five. At least we were all dry and warm. Four guys had to tent and they got in late and set up in the rain. I felt for them.
I like Damascus. Two outfitters here and they LOVE hikers. I’m staying in a church hostel that asks for $4.00 in donation for each day. Luckily they don’t enforce the 2 day limit as I’ve been here three.
Don’t have any stories to tell. I did get back together with “Guns” the ex E8 Army guy. He’s got his car here and we went to Abington (about 15 miles away), my reward.
The senior hikers tell me that Virginia won’t take as long as I think, as two thirds of Virginia will be easy walking and I will increase my miles. I hope they are right.
No big stories to tell. Got my pack ready for tomorrow and the letters/cards written so off I will go “Into the Wild” of Virginia and Mt. Rogers.
Will try to remember more to report next time. I remain:
Mustang Sally
