AT Day 36: Zero Day in Damascus VA

Daily Miles: 0, Total Miles: 470.7

First order of business was a big breakfast at the Damascus Diner. It came with the room as the Dragonfly Inn is owned by the same couple. I got the Mt Rogers Special – 3 eggs, 5 thick slices of bacon, hashbrown casserole, biscuits and gravy, and grits. Stretch offered me a pancake but I had to turn it down.

I strolled down to an outfitter shop and bought a new Opsack to replace my old, worn out one. The Opsack is a thicker, plastic sealable bag for food storage. The idea being to reduce the food smells from attracting a hungry bear.

I got some quality prone time including a short nap and returned to the diner for a big bacon cheeseburger that I almost finished. However, I did finish the blackberry cobbler and vanilla ice cream.

Rain in the afternoon which is supposed to continue off and on all night.
