Damascus. 3 days. Thousands of thru-hikers, past and present. Hundreds of gear vendors. Deliciously fattening food. Bonfires. Live music. This is the basis for Trail Days, a hiker extravaganza that we'd been hearing about for weeks now and couldn't wait to be a part of!
We arrived earlyish, before all the real mayhem began, and set up our tent in "tent city" (yes, it's REALLY called that) amongst hundreds of other tents (and an alarmingly large number of port-o-potties!). For three days it was relax, indulge, and shop as we caught up with a bunch of our long-lost trail friends who we hadn't seen in weeks! Bogey, Slim, Shutterbug, Hot Wheels, and Big Corley thanks for being so awesome and it was great to catch up!
It was a crazy few days (give hikers a bonfire and good food and hiker midnight turns into 3 am!) that flew by thanks to the town of Damascus and everyone involved! It was great to see our friends at Leki (thanks for giving our trekking poles some much needed love and new parts!) and Sprint and I want to give a big THANKS to Backpacker magazine as well! They gave away 20 great prize packages and I was lucky enough to have my name drawn!
Thanks again to everyone who makes Trail Days possible and we can't wait to see everyone next year! (ps-there are more great pictures to come!)
