Zero day inDamascus. And resupply. Resupply? You say? Well yes Melanie isn't due in here until Monday so I have a few more days to hike. Tomorrow I'll take a shuttle north to Fox Creek VA. That's mile 507.6 from Springer. So yes this last little bit, although it is SOBO will put me over the 500 mile mark. Weeee! I did get a pair of wool gloves at a local shop and I think I'm good for as cold as it could get.
A SOBO just blew into the hostel. He did a 28 mile day so he could get warm. The snow and frost were a bit much for him. That's where I'm headed. If the weather is cold I'll spend as much time hiking as I can and be back in a couple days. If it warms up I can slow down and take my time. Either way I'll end up in Damascus. I have already located the barber. I could use a shave and a haircut.

Judd, thanks for the daily updates. It adds a moment of pure enjoyment each morning reading your journal. Well done on many fronts my friend.
ReplyDeleteHey Judd,
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed reading about your hike. Sounds like it's been a life-changing experience. Glad I got to play a minor role in your story. Back at my desk 1 week and already wishing I was back on the trail. Looks like it's really starting to get cold out there. Hope you, Mike, and Shelby are staying warm.

P.S. IT'S A BOY!
Hi Judd, yah I second Steve's comment concerning how fun it's been reading of your experiences. The only thing missing is Mother Ship signaling and campfire tribal councils, and forget the haircut, seventies man !
