Trail Description:
We had a good turnout. As everyone had been cooped up for weeks due to weather, it was not surprising. Plus most of us are curious about a new park. By starting at 10 and going counter clockwise around the Laurel Loop , we managed to draw out the hike and arrive at the picnic table on the Black Oak Trail by 11:30 for lunch. From here the group split with most going up the Sea Foam and the rest stayed on the more level parts.
