Blue Ridge Soap Box Derby
Our first adult race with one of our derby dads and a member of the Waynesboro City Council 🏁
Good going Ms. Anderson!
And we love you, hikers! Did you know Waynesboro is the largest city "on" the Appalachian Trail (or within 2 miles of it) and that we host thousands of hikers every year at our stores, restaurants, and hostels? Spots like Stanimal's 328 Hostel & Shuttle Service, Rockfish Gap Outfitters, Waynesboro Family YMCA, and New Ming Garden Buffet and Grill are known by hikers across the East Coast for their hospitality. Take a look at what a blogging hiker had to say recently about her experience in Waynesboro:
"Because of the bigger mile day the day before we were able to make it into Waynesboro, VA a day earlier than we thought we would. This town was an amazing hiker town; I was blown away by the support they give thru-hikers. When we reached the trailhead there was a sign posted with the phone numbers of trail angels to call and get a ride to town. We ran into another hiker there and the three of us called a number on the list and the trail angel respond with, “I’ll be there in ten minutes.” Then, when he picked us up and we started to make conversation, we asked him if he had ever hiked the AT himself. Nope. As a matter of fact, he told us, he didn’t hike at all. Just not his thing. What? Then why does he take his time to drive thru-hikers around? Because it’s part of a town run volunteer program. Yup, that’s right. The town decided that the road from the trailhead to town was too busy and had too small of a shoulder that they didn’t find it safe for hikers to walk or hitch on it and incorporated giving hikers rides into a volunteer program.
We were driven to a small, well kept park that was specifically for AT thru-hikers to tent in. For free. It included posts for people that hammock instead of tent, and had a picnic table, porta potty, and garbage cans. It was around the corner from the YMCA, which has showers that AT hikers are allowed to use. For free. I have been shown a lot of kindness and generosity throughout this hike so far, but how much Waynesboro embraced the hikers and incorporated it into their town was just amazing. It was as if they were proud to be a trail town instead of just accepting that they were one."
Shenandoah! I Love You! - The Trek

I live very close to this park and have made many of new friends. Always kind and respectful to their surroundings. Always hate to summer end.
Don’t forget the library! Always one of the first stops for our AT hikers!
It’s so nice to see/hear the words that visitors say about Waynesboro!
