This morning, we enjoyed a wonderful homemade breakfast from Woodchuck, a trip to the post office, and a trek out of Damascus. Check out this cool photo of the “tramily,” or trail family. I really enjoy hiking with these two. They provide a great amount of both amusement through fart noises and moments for deep conversation too. 
Early in our hike for the day, I crossed one of the most exciting signs of my hike: the TN/VA border. Crazy to think I’ve walked home from Maine…nearly 1800 miles!
You better believe I sung Rocky Top at the top of my lungs.
The rest of the day was a long walk on a hilly ridge with thorn bushes criss crossing the trail. While I’m happy to be home, I’m so far not impressed with the trail in Tennessee.
However, all is well at Double Spring Gap shelter as yet another round of rain is rolling in. Can’t wait to get wet tomorrow!
