Slack packed nine miles from US Hwy 321 south back to Dennis Cove Road and the Kincora Hostel. The advantages of this short day were:
1. Allowed me to spend the night at Kincora when the outside temp was going to drop into the low 30’s or upper 20’s (brrrr!!)
2. Allowed me to go over a nearly 2,000’ mountain climb carrying 6 lbs instead of 35 lbs.
3. Allowed me to truly enjoy a spectacular waterfall at Laurel Falls. Laurel Falls – you must see the
pictures – it is about 70’ tall and at least as wide. After three days of rain, the falls were nothing but raging white water – beautiful. Like Niagara Falls in miniature. Spent the afternoon, most of it anyway sitting around the hostel smokin’ and jokin’ with the other hikers, catching up on my journaling, and of course eating.
Tomorrow morning I launch for Damascus, Virginia. Plan for 2 ½ days. 
Should be there by early Friday p.m., May 2, 2008.
