There is a Red Bull on the Streets of Damascus! - photos

   Red Bull and his hiking companions are taking a "zero" day in Damascus.  From my visit yesterday, it looks like his feet could use a break.

You can rent various accommodations, even tents or a tepee.
Red Bull and his companions are renting a large wooden shed.
It contains 4 bunkbeds (sleeping 8), Red Bull's has no mattress!

   Red Bull, Cntr, Sqtch, and Rd Brd rented mountain bikes to ride along the Virginia Creeper Trail today.  It is "rails to trails" which means it was a railroad bed in years gone by.  Here is a brief excerpt from virginiacreepertrail.com:

The Va Creeper Trail stretches 34 miles from Abingdon, Virginia down thru the lovely town of Damascus, Va (known as the Heart of the Va Creeper) along the Whitetop Laurel River and up to its highest point Whitetop Station near the NC State Line at Whitetop, Virginia. The Va Creeper Trail is open year round to hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding.

This former rail bed passes through the Mount Rogers National Recreation area and the highland country of Southwestern Virginia. The Virginia Creeper Trail is rich in beauty and regional history. This is a biking adventure that you and your friends and family will talk about for a long time.
