Trail towns are fantastic. They provide everything a thru-hiker needs and then some. After putting in 18.5 miles by 1:45pm we were standing in Damascus, VA - the prominent and popular trail town. Trail Days are held here every year.
I probably have not yet mentioned who the other two individuals are that have been appearing in some of my pictures. Their names are Caboose and Simco (trail names) and have been traveling with us about one day out of Hot Springs. They are both outstanding gentlemen and are a pleasure to hike with.
Caboose is from Statesboro, GA and has also just graduated from college. He is an Eagle Scout, pretty much the only reason we're hiking with him. Hah, just kidding.
Simco is a little older than the three of us and has a phenomenal beard. Many young hikers (males) aspire to have even 1/2 of his facial hair. It's a sense of pride and coming of age out here. His knowledge in exercise and sport science as well as his skills in Jiujitsu make him a great hiking companion.
