trips - Hike into Trail Days part Deux

“After having missed the last 4 Trail Days, I am bound and determined to do the next one right. I am going to start at Dickey Gap (near Troutdale) the Friday or Saturday before, and take 4 or 5 days to get to Damascus, arriving Tuesday afternoon, so I can be there when it starts on Wednesday, and then stay until it ends on Sunday. The mileage will be 10 - 12 miles per day.

“Crank call time? ;-)”

“I'm interested, however, I don't want to get into Damascus before Thursday. There isn't really anything going on before then, plus you can't get into the campgrounds before Thursday morning.”

“I know wildbill wants to hike in next year. I may, but I don't think I can get the time off”

“unless I'm dead by then I'll be there on wed.. before 12”

“I definitely want to hike to Damascus. Right now I am planning on starting at Massie Gap, which is only about 36 miles (I think). It all depends on how many days I can get off from work.”

“Sounds good! I'm a definite maybe.”

“mb, i couldnt find massie gap in my wingfoot. what highway is it at?”

“It's in the Grayson Highlands SP, near Mt. Rogers. It's a parking lot.”

“ponies!”

“I am a definite maybe. ;)”

“I decided to join this trip too.”

“whats wrong with this thread?”

“i wanted one linked to the main trail days trip page”

“If everything goes as planned, I will make this trip.”

“which trip does this one link too?”

“click and find out”

“THIS THREAD is linked to my trip, the actual hike”

“Sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you meant you wanted a thread to your traildays trip thread. Reading too fast, my bad.”

“I have already put in for the time off. It looks like both my kids are planning on coming with me again. You all have corrupted them, lol. They seem to think that trail days are fun or something like that.”
