    Default Bus stations in/around Damascus, VA???

    Hello Hikers!

    I am trying to figure out how to get to Trail Days this year (2019)- I live in Atlanta and have some car troubles so I can't drive myself; that being said, a friend from the trail will let me ride with him to Trail Days; but hes heading off in a different direction afterwards and I'm thinking about taking a bus back to Atlanta, but I dont know where the closest Bus station is to look at times/prices? Any help would be much appreciated!

    I'm planning a section from Pearisburg to Damascus this summer, so my options are a greyhound bus from either Bristol, TN or Marion, VA. But you will need a shuttle from Damascus. Or the Tri-Cities airport from Johnson city, TN.

    I would hit "The Place" hostel when you 1st get to Trails Days & post on their ride board, that you need a ride to Bristol or Marion, should be a ton of folks going in both directions.
