Just returned from taking my wife out for three days and two nights on the trail a little south of Damascus walking up to town. We did it as a shake out for my thru attempt starting early next year and to introduce her to hiking. I want to say thanks to everyone on WB who's advise I learned from, to Lonewolf for offering parking (used Mt. Roger's instead due to confusion with cars), to the 9 SOBO hikers we met, to the various other hikers (Hiker Head, Kerosine, etc...) we met, and to the gentlemen at Mt. Rogers. All of you not only re-affirmed my desire for my stroll in the spring but more importantly you made my wife feel welcome... she may not do a thru but she enjoyed it despite the cold. Thanks again...
