trail days
Well May is soon here and the annual trail days is coming up. Last year I went and meet a few of the TTERs and I enjoyed meeting them and wondered who was going this year? I also thought I could post this on the trip page and maybe we could get together and hike Grayson Highlands while we were there.. a good 14 mile loop!
Check out the trial days schedule.

Maybe...the AT will be thick with thru-hikers though. I may just visit my cousin and spend a day at Trail Days and do nothing else though.

I'd like to go, but its a long trip and that makes things get funny trying to plan, but I'd really like to go.

Like to spend some time at Grayson Highlands as much as I'd like to see the Trail Days stuff.

Especially if a bunch of TTers are gonna be there.

LOL!!! I live in FLORIDA dude!

But I plan on being in the mountains this summer, while the kids are off driving their mother crazy for a month or so.

It'd be cool to hook up with you at Traildays Damascus, I've never been to it before.

As my trips fall in place I'll let you know if I'll be in your area, plenty ahead of time.

Actually, that's not quite right either, It went: NC to FL to SC and then back to FL. I dont' see what's confusing here...

rox, that would work for me. thursday is good. I will have to figure out how to do it friday though. Will ask hubby...he can do me a favor once in a while.

It was really good for almost 4 month or so, he didn't even go to work until 9, but right now it's back to regular working schedule for him. I think it's doable though. I can always ask my neigbor friend :)
Gemini

heck no, not me. I am not moving anytime soon, unless it's closer to the mtns :)

hey...I do want to hike some though while I am up there in VA... the parade is cool and all, the vendors are great too, but hiking is a must :)

anyway, got to go. talk to all of ya later.

I don't have a cheesehead hat, probably cuz I have a real cheesehead. I'll keep monitoring your trip and good luck.

I'm down!
I think I might go to this as I've never been. Probably won't be able to make it until Friday around 10 as I have class on Fridays until 4pm during that week. It's only six hours so I'll probably go.
