    I will be hiking NOBO toward the vehicle in Damascus VA. Shuttling South to hike North. Anyone have a suggestion for a nice hostel and a place to park? Thanks!

    Yes, shopping for shuttle too. I read recently read that public facilities in Damascus are closed. Does that include the Library lot as well? Is it safe to park there? Fee?

    Good to know that. Will be arriving in Damascus sometime between 10 and 11 am Nov 7. Park then Shuttle to Dennis Cove AT Trailhead. Is that doable? What is your fee? Just me but potentially one other.
