I visited the town for the first time yesterday on my way from Almost Heaven to Sweet (Sweat) Home. I guess it never registered with me that the Creeper is there. Bikes and hikers everywhere! It was like this harmonic convergence of my two favorite activities. I just walked around town for a couple hours, poking in the shops, puttering along the trail in my crocs-a total tourist. I can't wait to get back and do the Creeper. That brings me to my question; How do most people bike the VCT; a thru-bike of the whole thing or in two parts, ending each half in Damascus? Thanks. What an awesome town.
