Trip Report/Photos

Our third camper arrived just shortely before we did (coming from our Buck Ridge-Buck Hollow hike).  I helped direct the new camper to a nice, flat grassy spot, this being his first time camping.  No rain was in the forecast so it was a great night to camp out.  It was a great night--cool and calm and the campground was quiet.  We all slept well and had a nice breakfast the next morning.  Camper #3 packed up and left us while we packed up but left the trailer there whilst we did our Sunday morning hike up beautiful Laurel Prong Trail.  Another great weekend camping.  I'm already looking forward to the next camping trip!!
