It was an overcast and coolish day and we ended up with only seven walkers. My directions said to turn right into the Mossy Glen parking area after {paying at] the entrance. That short road was blocked so we had to go back out to the main road and just slightly up to the second parking area. The attendants at both admission booths [hopefully because they're new] were quite confused about Mossy Glen. But eight of us made it. We were happy to see Eileen who has been recuperating from hip surgery. She didn't walk but joined four of us for brunch at the College Diner.
I had scheduled this walk with the hope that the mountain laurel would be in bloom and we were rewarded. In some areas the woods was just full of blooming plants. [and I apologize-but only slightly-for publishing so many pictures of the laurel]

| Some were unusually pink |

| It's a little difficult to see but all that pink in the background is mountain laurel. The woods just full of it here. |
