Having left Boots Off and made the climb up out of Hampton, I was well and truly on the 'Tennessee Turnpike'. So named because aside from a climb up out of Hampton and a climb down into Damascus, both of which are relatively easy; the 30+ miles between the two are some of the flattest, smoothest and straightest parts of the entire trail. There was even a Disabled Accessible portion of trail!
The only downsides are a lack of views and a lack of water in some place - a whole ten miles between water sources, gasp! How ever were we to manage. But I've now made it into Damascus for lunchtime this Monday. Hopefully the friends I was supposed to meet here won't be too long....
Gosh that was fast going! Hope you get your post there.
