I can work on the TT Sign if needed. Not going to be a great art piece, but they...it would be readable. I do have material and acylic paint.

A sign and some obstructions that would save us some tent spots would be great. I won't be there until 10pm or so.

Greensboro is only about 3 hours from Damascus, if you hurry. I used to live there, and flights into GSO are generally cheap as u-know-what.

I never got any responses to my question. Does anyone know where Taylor's Valley is? I got us a cabin there and the lady ask if I was going to trail days, and when I said yes she said, oh good you will be right by the concord, concourse trail? Not sure what she said, the name started with a "C". She said its 7 miles by car to drive to Damascus but by the way she talked I could hike to trail days.
Miss Opie

Sorry Chelle, have no idea.
Dub

She probably said Creeper Trail. The Virginia Creeper Trail. It runs into Damascus.

Thats about all I know. Maybe mapquest the route from Taylors Valley to Damascus?

Good luck

That's probably what she said. I was just so excited about finding a cabin I wasn't really paying attention to names.

The address to the cabin was Damascus, VA. The name of the area is Taylors Valley.
Miss Opie

Hmmm I think that is the small community outside of town. If I remember right...it's been awhile since I was in Taylors Valley... took a tour of it 2 summers ago.

Miss Opie
9:05:39 PM
5/06/04

Why damn me? lol
Yes trails days happen right in town.

Ok Dub I will save the sites. Hyway if you want to leave Thursday and come up, just stay here. Not anywhere near Litefoot but in another room. You are welcome to stay here if you like.
