Phyllis & Paul joined us for a hike on the Laurel River Trail. This trail is longer than what I've been hiking this year, but exceptionally flat. I was able to hike it without a problem, just a little sore after I got home. We ran into CMC hikers who happened to be doing the same hike as us. Oops. I hadn't checked their schedule. We also saw many people soaking in the river. Next time we bring bathing suits! I wasn't sure about whether I'd let Krumm swim, because some sections have strong currents. I decided to let him swim at the midway point where the 2 rivers converge and there was a calm, shallow section of water. Krumm was very annoyed at me - he kept trying to drag me down to the river throughout the hike.
