Quality Inn in Abingdon, Virginia We didn't have any pre-booked reservations on this trip. We packed the camping stuff intending to use it, but not really sure how much. Evidently, we can only rough it for one night before giving in to fast food and a hotel room.

Biscuits and gravy are better than peanut butter and jelly |
Old Town Abingdon sure is cute |

On the road headed west to Damascus, Virginia |
We really liked Damascus They call Damascus "Trail Town, USA" because the Appalachian Trail and Virginia Creeper Trail go through town and there's also a big annual Trail Days celebration in May |
We talked to this nice couple for a while. They took our picture and then recommended, Harvest Table, the Barbara Kingsolver restaurant nearby - before heading out on the Virginia Creeper Trail. |
Checking out the gear at Sundog Outfitters |
On the road again |
Grayson Highlands State Park We were surprised how there were no signs letting us know we were headed in the right direction, but then the park sign suddenly appeared |
Our little Honda Fit did great, off road and all. Who needs a Subaru. |
Nice visitor center and store |
Twin Pinnacles and Big Pinnacle trails start next to the visitor center |
Ice cream |
We decided to camp at the park campground |
Cute campground store |
Hiking the Wilson Creek Trail just before dark was beautiful |
