You live in a beatiful area no doubt. I stayed at Bear Tree sat and sun last year and was expecting to pull in to a packed campground but it was almost empty. It was nice after hanging around the crowds all day to come back to a nice quite campsite. Anyone that goes, be sure to ride the Creeper Trail. Rent a bike in town for $20. They haul you up to the top of the mtn and then it's a 18 or so mile coast back to town on an old rail bed crossing many trestles.

 Rain,Rain,and more Rain. Had a good time, met alot of backpackers and spent way too much money. Party a little, eat alot. At one of the Hotdog stands near the exxon station you could get 2 hotdogs with all the fixens, a bag of chips and a drink for $1.00 what a deal. Many clothing and equipement suppliers were on hand and many good deals of course. At the campground as you go to Backbone rock, there must have been several thousand tents, tent city. Big bond fires and plenty of fun. The entire town of Damascus was turned into a backpacking community. All those who did not get to make it this year, you need to check Trail Days out next year. Many shops were giving out free things, like sip rings for your Nalgene water bottle, compact backpacking towels, nickwax bottles, sewing kits,nylon repair kits,small nalgene fuel bottles for alcahol stoves,and many other items. I tried to get them all LOL.
