We were again thankful to attend the Damascus Trail Days event. We offered soup and engergy bars, as well as refreshing Yerba Maté drinks. Our voluntary shuttle van service also was again in full swing, shuttling hikers from the trail into Damascus to the event.
While the automotive accident that injured 60 hikers definitely brought a sobering tone to the whole event this year, we were thankful to set up a Yellow Deli mobile trailer participate and offer hospitality to all the hikers.
Travelers take note, the people here are interesting, welcoming, and open to questions, and the food is delicious and wholesome. We were told that we should look up other community locations if we were ever in need of a place to stay.
Before dinner at this hostel they always have a celebration service with testimonies, music and dancing. This is a great group of people who serve the hiker community wholeheartedly!
My experience: They are incredibly accommodating individuals. Jeremiah picked us up and drove us almost an hour to their location in Lancaster, NH. I received a clean mattress... as well as a welcome basket. These two days were much needed, and I feel well-rested and ready to hike onward.
