Perhaps 2 minutes before the Hiker Parade/Water fight at Trail Days. We had filled approximately 100 water balloons to throw at the town folk while they sprayed us down with water guns, fire hoses, and sprinklers.
Walking Stick 75 (aka the original Walking Stick) cooking scrumptious pancakes for breakfast. This wonderful man made many wonderful meals during our stay at Trail Days. Thanks!
A small portion on Tent City - our temporary home for a week or so. There were supposedly 3000 or so tents throughout the weekend during Trail Days and different 'neighborhoods' in Tent City itself. We stayed in a neighborhood named Riff-Raff near the creek.
A restaurant in Pearisburg, VA named after me! Awesome.
Pyrofly taking a ride on the zipline to The Captain's house across the rivercreek. He's sporting a kilt - just a fancy name for a man-skirt which is relatively common on the trail. The Captain had a hiker feed the day before we arrived, but we were able to enjoy some leftovers and the crew of friendly folks who decided to stay another day. Zipline as a form of transportation is truly the way to go. Sometimes I wish I could zipline from a mountain-top to town versus 3 or so miles of walking down down down...but that would probably be cheating. but it would be fun.
More to come!
Great pictures from Trail Days, I like what you said in the first paragraph.
