Damascus in the news

If you decide to drive to Damascus, you'll likely be in the minority. This is hiking and cycling heaven, where seven major trails intersect, including the undulating Virginia Creeper and the granddaddy of them all: the 2,180-mile Appalachian Trail.

In a nifty bit of irony, six of the seven trails converge in a parking lot, at Mojoes Trailside Coffee House, where most mornings you'll find a clutch of locals and through-hikers chatting about travel plans. Breakfast is the big meal in town, and the more energy-boosting calories the better.

I live in Beaufort. Really cool to see we made the list! It is a great place to visit. Damascus is pretty awesome too. I had a great time there when section hiking many years ago. I stayed at the The Place Hostel and ate at a local diner.

I had a 24 egg breakfast at that diner. Great breakfast!

If I remember correctly it was called the dairy king. I also ate at the bbq place 3 times. It was really good as well.
