May 2nd-Awesome Day!

Hit the trail 6:45 this morning and hit 13 miles by 12:30 just on time for lunch. We were at Dennis Cove Rd. with hostels to right or left. Went to Kincora, which was highly recommended in 2012 AT Guide. We were very disappointed and called Black Bear Resort who offered to come get us in 10 minutes. Just enough time for me to sneak in a river swim, which made me grin from ear to ear. We had a 2000 calorie McDonalds binge each and went back to the resort for a nap. 4:00 we hit the trail and discovered an awesome stretch of the AT. Upper Laurel Falls was the highlight. Julie swam out to the falls because she can't help herself. Hiked a few miles and set up camp riverside. Private. Swim and dinner ahhhhhh. Looking forward to lake time tomorrow and hopefully, Kendra in Damascus on Sunday.

CCC Hikers...the river is the stretch we did not do last hike. You have to come back and hit this area when it's warm!!!
