Day 36: 5/6/12

Miles today: 18.5
Total miles: 466.9

Arrived at Damascus, VA today. It's what I'd call the "end of the beginning" of the AT. 3 states down, 11 to go.

Had a typical town experience once I arrived - shower, town food (with beer, of course). And check this out - the hostel I'm staying at has hair clippers for all to use! So most hikers here, including some of the ladies, are sporting shaved heads. I shaved my head and my beard finally. See the before/after pictures. I tell you, as a bald man, that happiness is a freshly-shorn head.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next section of the trail, should be much different than what I've seen so far. Lots to see yet. Long way to go.
