Day 39

Day 39 - Low Gap to Damascus, VA - 15 miles (464 miles total)

We had town on our minds today, so we did the miles pretty quickly (not to mention that they were some of the easiest we've seen yet) and made it to Damascus by 5pm. It was another quiet day, with no real views, but we were glad to be finishing our 3rd state (GA,NC,TN- completed) and heading into Virginia where we'll be for the next month, at least.... Also, we were followed by 2 more dogs today, until some other hikers passed us and they took off after them. Apparently it's custom for people to let their hunting dogs run wild in the woods in order to train them, so that explains why there has been so many stray dogs on the trail. Anyway, got to town and ate giant hamburgers, then headed to a campsite we saw right outside of town where we spent the night.
