Trail Days 2010 – Damascus Virginia

I can't go (again). I have a wedding (not mine).

U going?

Joe,
Sorry to hear it, it would have been a fun trip. I do plan to go to Trail Days. It'd be great to catch up with other BPL memebers while there.
Tom

Just wanted to remind folks that Trail Days will held this weekend in Damascus, VA. Hope to see some of you there.
Tom

I talked to Grant tonight. Gossamer Gear will be there!

MLD will be there Friday late morning.

Tom,

When are you going? For the day or overnight? Camping or where are you staying?

Take care,

Doug

I'm driving from PA, and expect to arrive late Thrus night. I'm camping in tent city. I'll be down there with my 7 yr. old son, so say hello if you see us. We'll be using a light blue 2-man Sierra Designs Clip Flashlight tent.

What are your plans, Doug?

Looking forward to seeing what new stuff MLD & GG have.
Tom

Not sure yet, might just drive down for the day. I'll say hello if I see you!

GG – There.

SMD – Not there.

Hey Ron,

Will you be at your 'booth' for most of Saturday? Would love to finally meet you!

So, do the cottage manufacturers actually sell gear, or only display their new products?

Travis,
They sell gear, but have lots of tents…ah, I mean TARPS on display. You can buy stuff sacks, shoes, socks, alcohol stoves (Caldera Cones), hammocks, quilts, etc. Of course, they don't have their whole stock, but MLD usually has a good selection. It's a great time to try things on or crawl in to check for headroom.
Tom

……and the list of "official" folks on the list above, doesn't count all the others that are there somewhat unofficially. For example….a bunch of us are cramming in with AGG….Trail Designs, Evernew, and a few others!

Rand :-)
