BTW, one of the backpackers that lives in Damascus thinks GMH used his phone during Trail Days last year. He made his phone available for thru-hikers to call home during TD. There were some thefts in the city's campground, but someone would remember him if GMH had stayed there.
For those not familiar with this event, Trail Days is a huge backpacker homecoming. Probably between 750 and 1,000 people stay in a campground provided by the city. In the past few years the partying has just gotten out-of-control enough that many of us won't stay in the city campground.
Below is a pic a part of the campground in 2006 to give those who haven't been to TD what it is like:
And that is just a very small part, I bet. I hear that 10,000 people actually hit town for TD...not just to camp, but to go to Trail Days.
That's why I stay at my little campground!
