Last night while talking to Joel, he told us his favorite breakfast on the trail was Little Debbie Honey Buns. So the next morning we stopped at Cowboy’s Food Mart in search of just that. In the absence of Honey Buns, though, we settled for cinnamon buns, paired with sausage biscuits and coffee :-). We are so happy to have spent a night in Damascus. Being the crossroads of the AT and the Trans America Trail, the little town has all the amenities and supplies that a hiker or biker could possibly want, plus the added bonus of meeting hikers.

Breaking down camp today was easier than usual since everything was completely dry, thanks to the pavilion we slept under.

It rained buckets last night. Luckily, we have had plenty of practice setting up our tent, so everything stayed dry, but the noise of the onslaught against the tent was difficult to sleep through at times. Fortunately we could afford a slow morning, with only 30 miles left between us and ACE Adventure Resort in Minden, WV.

So far we are both enjoying West Virginia. There are plenty of ups and downs, which keep things interesting.

This morning we filled up at the continental breakfast and used the hotel computer before resuming our journey. The first 20 miles were on the West Fork Trail, which was our favorite bike path so far.
