After waiting for a thunderstorm to pass we were off on our way to Damascus, VA for Greg to get more bike repairs to his recumbent bike. The day before his crank came loose so it needed to be properly tightened this time. On the way to Damascus we encountered numerous Appalachian Trail hikers because in some places the trail paralleled the road. Shortly after arriving in Damascus another downpour occurred so we had to wait that one out as well.
When we got back on the road it was off to Rosedale to stay at another church for the night. There were no inside showers but only outside and cold water. It still felt great. It was another early night to sleep where we all slept on the floor of the sanctuary.
