The mountain laurel were in full swing when Chris and I hiked up on Tuesday. Chris says it is one of his favorite. I would have to agree. Between the last of the catawba rhododendron and the mtn. laurel, it was a beautiful show of vibrant pinks and delicate whites. It won't be long before the rhodo starts to bloom around the lodge.
It has been a fairly wet few days. The high yesterday was 55º with a low of 49º. We saw another .75" of rain yesterday. It is that time of the year when the afternoon thunder storms roll through and let loose.
We were super excited to hear from our 2013 crew member, Bethany, who is currently thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail. She sent us a picture of her dominating the half gallon challenge. She has reached the Pine Grove Furnace State Park, which is a little over half way on the Appalachian Trail. One of the traditions is to chow down on a half gallon of Hershey's ice cream. Bethany had no problems finishing every bit. She is doing great and moving right a long. We can't wait to get the picture of her at the end her AT journey.
