Damascus, VA
Today I took a zero. I was going to take care of resupply but it rained pretty hard most of the day until the rain turned to snow. I spent some time reading and went out to breakfast lunch and dinner with everyone in town. Breakfast was a greasy spoon, Dairy King, and lunch and dinner were italian, Sicily's. Both were quite good. The high point was McGyver and I helping Bowser drop 5 or so pounds from his pack. I spent a long time with him telling him which straps, pockets, and buckles he could live without on his backpack. In the end it only removed about a pound from his pack but it was fun. I also made a new windscreen from a foil baking pan since my old one was developing holes.
My heel looks much better in part to the pair of Crocs which I have been lounging in town with. Snack Break told me someone had left them in the hiker box and they fit great. My cold has gotten worse though, I am hoping it near the end.
Oh I also moved from Daves place, $10 a night, to The Place which is only $4. Everyone seems to be there anyhow so it is more social.

I am relieved you're in town--all we hear is horror stories of rain and flooding. Hopefully the rain and your cold will end at the same time and you can be on your way again soon.
