View Full Version : Damascus Shuttles

On the Town of Damascus website there is a list of services and such for AT hikers www.damascus.org/athikers.html scroll down and on the left you'll see a short list of shuttlers in town. I'm one of them. The wife of an MRO employee is raising holy hades at the town hall trying to get me delisted. This is because I took the side of a hiker that had complaints against MRO and another employee. So far, so good. Personally I won't do any more business with MRO but will still shuttle hikers, listed or not. So call me. I'll try to help out. :)

I wouldn't consider using anyone other than you.
You carried me North to around Troutdale, some where along that road you said you ate a pop tART that you found on the road.
Anyhoooo I had to bail out after a few days as my back was not a good hiking buddy.
You were dropping someone of at Va. 58 I think it was and I was standing there wondering how the F do I get back to Damascus. Now thats trail magic. I kept repeating " I can't f----ing believe its you".:eek:
Disappointing hike turned into a great trail magic story. Sure beats those " came to a road crossing and someone was cooking hotdogs stories"
Wolf, I have used you once for a shuttle and will use you again.

Whoa, first the gentle Wonder says she won't shop at Mount Rogers Outfitter because of nonsense from guy that runs their hostel and now LW says someone connected to MRO is trying to get him removed from the town's web site as a shuttle provider.:eek: Sounds like Jeff Patrick better get a handle on things pronto before a successful business become far less successful.
LW, thanks for the heads-up on this. Please let us know if they actually do take you off the list.
Seems to me that Damascus is gettin' a little "yupified". Whaddaya think?

If you give me enough notice or catch a hiker on trail, I shuttle to a few spots in between Damascus and Erwin.
HEy, I'm not on the town list, but if anyone is coming thru....feel free to drop me a line. If my work schedule allows, I'll do some shuttles

You're my #1 shuttle choice Wolf.
It's a damn shame that it's come to this because of the a-hole at MRO and management's refusal to deal with him.
Now Wolf, if you'd become a born-again and renounce your past sins, MRO would welcome you back with open arms.:D
Local and buliwyf, send me your contact information (send to grsmith07 at gmail.com) and I'll list you on the "services for hikers" page. We list these services for free on the town site (www.damascus.org (http://www.damascus.org)) because we are a hiker-friendly town. Thanks for helping us keep it that way.
The person trying to get Wolf removed, deleted, whatever, is the wife of the guy at MRO who threatened me when I tried to discuss the racist incident that happened there with one of their employees. "If you publicize this I'll come after you," he told me. In the past I've been threatened in foreign countries by well-armed teenage soldiers who spoke a language I didn't understand. I had never been threatened by an employee of a backpacker store in my home town. Add this to life's interesting experiences.
Crap. I meant "wonder" instead of "local." How Freudian is that?

it certainly doesn't ruin my day. it's kinda funny and sad at the same time. nobody from MRO has contacted me about not wanting me being listed on the town owned website. pretty spineless. they used to call me to handle their shuttles when they were full. all i did was side with a kid that got slurred by an employee. go figure. :)

Add this to life's interesting experiences.I was willing to give Wally, the man who is at the center of all this, the benefit of a doubt at first.... the first incident could have been some sort of misunderstanding in the context of a verbal disagreement that got out-of-hand, but when Wonder said she was having problems with the hostel manager that got my attention as I know Wonder and she is not one to take offense easily. Now I find out he threatened Local when he ask about the original incident -- this is way, way over the top. Jeff Patrick, owner of MRO, can employee who ever he wants, but keeping employees who do this sort of thing has consequences.
That settles it for this Dino. Until MRO does something about Wally, the guy who is currently running MRO's hostel, I won't be patronizing any of MRO services - not the outfitter, nor the shuttle service, nor the hostel -- in fact, I will be actively telling others they need to avoid them when the topic comes up.

... they used to call me to handle their shuttles when they were full...
This happened to me once -- they were booked so they were planning to use LW but he was busy so I got to meet The Only Wanderer instead. Life just hasn't been the same since. :D ( I did get to ride in LW's truck though. ) In retrospect I'm glad I didn't have to ride with Wally all that way.
I offer walking services to both trail heads here in Damascus. The cost is only a nickle a step, but tell you what I'll throw in a free long distance phone call so that you can tell your clan that you got a walking shuttle from The Only Wanderer...........

MRO will continue to exist as an outfitter and Lone Wolf will continue to exist as a shuttler in Damascus.
I have found a few of the more vocal (frequent) posters on WhiteBlaze to not be very representative of the majority of long distance hikers who aren't quite as vitriolic, alarmist, right-wing reactionary, blindly patriotic, strident, negative, hyper-critical, mean-spirited or 'Chicken Little' ish.
I think that some of these WB's feel they have the power to change things on the trail. In my opinion, the more they rant the more credibility they lose.
Who's rant'n? Wolf is just letting folks know that someone connected to MRO was trying to get him De-Listed from the town website.
Wolf, what was the reason given for wanting you off the list? No biz license? or did they cop to "just for spite"
I'm updating the page http://www.damascus.org/athikers.html, a printable list of services for hikers in Damascus, Virginia. In addition to Wolf, I would like to list contact information for buliwyf (shuttles), Wonder (shuttles, tour guide), and The Only Wanderer (free phone for hikers, free front porch sitting, books, some cooking facilities). If there are other things which should be added to this list please let me know.
This list is offered by the hiker-friendly town of Damascus. We don't discriminate in our listings, and we don't delete people because someone feels we should. Someone has asked that Wolf be deleted, and others have asked that Mount Rogers Outfitters and Dave's Place be deleted. We won't be doing any of that.

Yes, they will both still be around. So we dont represent the majority... so. And I have met a many long distance hiker who is vitriolic, alarmist, right-wing (and a few left-wingers), patriotic, (and not so patriotic), negative (and happy go lucky) hyper-critical (and overly compassionate) mean-spirited (and ever-giving) or Chicken Little's (and bullys)
We WB'ers may not have the power to change things on the trail, but individually, we do what we can to help one another.
I for one would be eager to call LW, because I have met and know him, (and yea, maybe we dont agree on everything, but thats what makes for good conversation) rather than call someone or some place that I have not dealt with.

Actually, Wanderer, John lost lots of business from people who decided over the years they wanted to stay somewhere else.
Janet lost business every time a hiker was told (erroneously) that her place was full, had no hot water, was closed by the Board of Health, etc.)
Happily, all this crap is over and done with, but for Wanderer to say that noblody lost business during this period or because of this unpleasantness only indicates that he doesn't really know what he's talking about.
Oh, and Janet's has been closed for quite some time, so if Wanderer still thinks she's in business, well this REALLY proves he's kind of in the dark on what's going on.
Here's the news: Uncle Johnny's is open for business now and will be in '08. I hope people stay there and have a good time. Miss Janet's is closed at present but may well be open in Erwin by the '08 hiker season; people will also have a good time there. There's plenty of room in Erwin for more than one top of the line hiker facility, and I hope everyone that's in business next year in Erwin has a good season.
whatever you say jack, i'm not trying to be in the "know."

Knock it off y'all.
Wanderer, what was your point? I am confused. :-? It sounds to me that the UJ issue did impact business for both UJ and Ms. J. While some of the issues were openly discussed on the Internet where many may not have read about them, certainly the more powerful trail grapevine spread the word around and did have an impact. So, is your point that the Internet discussions did not impact business for UJ and Ms. J.? And, if that is your point, what does it matter where people heard about it?
Knock it off y'all.

Personally I like the "Everyone back to your corners, sit down and shut up!" approach...

Just to clear this up, I've never personaly had any trouble with the Hostel manager or anyone at MRO. That siad, I chose to remove my support and business on a comfort factor. That fact that I have someone elses religon thrown at me when I'm in the vacinity of MRO is what makes me uncomfortable. Also, after hearing about what happened with Highlife and not being a Christian myself, I fear what will be said to me. I have a little trouble keeping my cool when people take some sort of personal offence to my beliefs. That's all......jsut didn't want the wrong message out there.:sun

Dixicritter: Why don't you pick on THE ONES WHO DO BAIT and leave Warren alone. I do not agree with everything Warren says, but there are certainly others more outspoken and caustic in their remarks, yet you do not give them personal warnings. Now back to this thread, Lone Wolf did not do anything other than INFORM WB members what Wally's wife did. Jeff Patrick, owner of MRO who is Wallys employer had ample oppourtunity to address the Wally situation on another thread or in a private meeting with Wally. If he did or did not we don't know. Now he certainly needs to inform Wally that neither he or his wife should involve MRO directly or indirectly in any type of controversy. I am sure that backpackers will hear information on MRO, Jeff and Wally on the trail next year. When I reach Damascus next spring, I don't plan on using Jeffs MRO, its hostel or shuttle service. This whole matter has left a bad smell in the air.

i think it's the business license thing. i don't run a business though
CaseyB, at first the complaint was "he has no business license." Then when it was explained that Wolf doesn't run a business it became "he didn't pay to be on that page."
If you look at the page in question, http://www.damascus.org/athikers.html, you can see I've tried to list all of the amenities in town a hiker might be seeking. No one has paid to be on this page.
This, imho, is obviously an attempt to get at L. Wolf in some manner. The triviality of this (imho) possibly reflects the originator. Many people in town are getting a good laugh about this. Yes, we're a small town and things get pretty dull around here sometime.

I think I made myself very clear on the subjuect concerning Wally in the thread that was closed down. I do not agree with Jeffs decision to keep Wally on, but at the same time I am not going to slam him for it. As far as someone calling to get you off the site as a service provider to the hiking community is concerned, I don't agree with that either.
What upsets me with this thread is that you got on here and reopened the can of worms.
I'm going to tell you something right now Wolf, Jeff Patrick is the one who is getting the short end of this whole thing. Another thing Jeff has held you in high regard for some time and then you get on here and post this.

Come on Wolf, your not held in high regard because he did not do what you think he, or me, or countless others thought he should have done? Since when does all your friends see it your way all the time?
What kind of friendship is it if I am going to always agree with my friends? Just because I may disagree with Jeff, or with you, does that mean I get on here and slam you or your business publicly? Wouldn't it be best to come to you one on one, or just drop the matter and when the time is right and the problem is ready to be fixed, then jump in there and fix it?

Is it ever weird posting on here concerning people or to people you're likely to run into on the street? The thought just occurred to me that it's easy for folks like me and others who are separated geographically to post whatever we want, but do you feel some sense of self-censorship when you post about folks in your own town? Do you hold back or is it all in good fun?
Just curious. ;)

You folks in damascus will hopefully realize that the ISSUE is what MRO, its employee(s), their wife(s), Jeff the owner, Wally an employee, did or failed to do. nothing else, no one else. Its my decision as an individual hiker (as it is for all hikers) to spend my money where I please, I choose not to spend it at MRO.

Calm down. No need to be so sensitive. Maybe you don't realize that using all caps is considered yelling.

Hey imobile man. You need to calm down now. There is no need for that.
i haven't "slammed" jeff or his business. until certain employees are no longer there i won't be doing business with them. others can do what they want. you don't have a dog in this hunt. stay out of it
I am unable to do that. Everytime you come on here and say something about MRO, I'm going to let you know I'm in Jeffs corner.
And I didn't say Toms or Wallys corner either........just Jeff.
To Wonder, Wolf, Wanderer, & Local:
Is it ever weird posting on here concerning people or to people you're likely to run into on the street? The thought just occurred to me that it's easy for folks like me and others who are separated geographically to post whatever we want, but do you feel some sense of self-censorship when you post about folks in your own town? Do you hold back or is it all in good fun?
Just curious. ;)
No, this is a serious matter. And we don't hide from each other. I mean where are we going to go? I ain't running from anyone..........they don't like me I don't give a crap............

i haven't posted anything wrong/false. neither has wonder or local. so i don't hide on the streets or avoid anyone
That's not what I was implying. I just wondered if it was weird posting to people you'd see around town. That's all. No biggie. :D
You folks in damascus will hopefully realize that the ISSUE is what MRO, its employee(s), their wife(s), Jeff the owner, Wally an employee, did or failed to do. nothing else, no one else. Its my decision as an individual hiker (as it is for all hikers) to spend my money where I please, I choose not to spend it at MRO.
good for you.............

jeff is in their corners so that puts you in the corner too. very crowded corner. friendships before business :)
L. Wolf is giving shuttles and there are alternatives. Okay.
Let me guess... This thread will be soon locked, like the others that have drifted in this stupid-arse direction.

That's your analysis, then so be it. Let the lines be drawn...........

Sgt Rock: Whats the problem? Creek Dancer felt she had the right to be upset with me. I believe America still gives me the same right. At least thats what thet told me in the Armed forces when I served.

The problem is your attitude towards her and my wife. Get over it. If you don't like it quit posting on this thread.
You have the right to get mad. You don't have the permission to act like that. Get the difference? A moderator is trying to calm some waters and you are only escallating it.
BTW, the rest of you chill out. You are acting like a bunch of kids on the play ground picking sides. I'm about to chill this thread out myself.
