Mike and Jeff traveled to Damascus, Virginia for the annual Trail Days Festival on the Appalachian Trail.
With help from customer Tom Bohr, Mike and Jeff exhibited and sold the latest in Gossamer Gear. Hikers, current and past, were really interested in ways to reduce their pack weights with our shelters, packs, pads and accessories. On Sunday, Mike and Jeff decided to see some of the area and hiked up through the Grayson Highlands on the AT. They summited Mt. Rogers, the highest peak in Virginia, and had a great time talking about ultralight gear with other hikers they encountered on the trail.
