Today was the day. I got up at 6 and hiked my first marathon, actually 27.8 (maybe there was a reroute so I don't know how much was lost but it was less than a mile so marathon accomplished), into the town of damascus. Damascus is an infamous hiker town that holds a huge party every year for the nobos. They love hikers in the town. The hike to town was uneventful. Lots of nice easy trail with stretches of hiking along a bike path so it was even nicely graded and groomed. One of the first people I met in town handed me a token I could take to the local bar and get a beer for a buck. It seems va won't let you give beer away for free so they have to charge a buck. I like damascus already and only been in town for 10 minutes.
