Today was a bittersweet day. We did what we would have originally thought impossible (around 27 mi for the day w/ extra walking) and got a marathon day, but it would also be Jude's (Jax-->Ed) last day hiking. He balled out though and got to Va. The day ended in intense knee/ankle pains but finally we made it to the road and hiked straight to Quincey's Pizza on Main St. We would end up going their 2 more times in the span of 20 hours. We showered up and checked out what Demascus has to offer on a Saturday night. Dot's Tavern/Grill was pretty empty so we felt obligated to drink a beer and not be rude for making the lady stand up out of her chair.....intense place. Within the hour we were back at Quincey's and then back in bed....too tired to make effort it seems.

| TN/VA State Line!!! Finally out of TN, now only 500 miles in Virginia ha. |
 |
| Damascus, Va. Sight of Trail Daze....like Bonnaroo for hikers..... you wouldn't think it could get smellier than those festivals either. |
 |
| Unlike most marathons, our's ended with a pizza for ourselves and coke's. Job well done! |
