TRAIL DAYS

After two full months of hiking and only taking four days off from hiking, my wonderful mother and father treated us to an amazing cabin right outside Damascus VA for Trail Days. For those who don't know what Trail Days is, it is one of the largest gatherings of AT thru hikers on the trail. It is a combination of vendors, hikers, bands and everything in between.

All the boys got haircuts at the cabin. 




Even dad got a new doo. 




Some of the vendor tents

Some pics of tent city where all the hikers stayed. 






The biggest fire pit I have ever seen. I could stand up on it and the rocks would have been waist high. 




More tents in tent city




Some have more style than others


Trail days was wonderful and fun and all we wished it to be but living in the woods for two months has spoiled us! We were ready to get back to our cozy tent with not so many peeps around. So we said bye to the wonderful parents and headed back to our Appalachian Trail adventures.
