Laurel Falls

For sure, you have to be lost to find a place that can't be found, elseways everyone would know where it was.

Funny story. I wanted to visit Laurel Falls and take some pictures. Naturally, I looked up some trails that would lead to the falls. I found a promising trail that left from Dennis Cove Road in Hampton. I followed the guy's instructions online...or so I thought. I ended up wandering around the Appalachian Trail for about 2 hours until I found two men and a woman (they weren't the first people I saw, but the first one's who knew how to get to the falls). We walked for another 15-20 minutes and there they were. I was told by one of the men (Rusty, who hikes back there once a month) that I'd missed the trail leading down to the falls. Apparently, I missed it twice seeing as I did some backtracking. Getting back to my car from the falls didn't take nearly as long as getting there, but it was worth the trip. Below is the best picture (I think) I took of the falls. This won't be the last picture of the falls either :).


Have a great Sunday everyone!
