VA Part 1: It's a Culture

We're covering the southern half of the Virginia AT today, which is home to Damascus, Trail Days, Grayson Highlands, and so much more. It's also where Gonzo saw her first snakes and perfected her hitchhiking dances.

There's no better spot to also talk about thru-hiker and trail town culture, trail magic (finally), and town days. Hostels, resupply, and trail angels are all discussed in depth.

Our theme music features acoustic guitar from ⁠Growing Up on Freesound
