George, Nice trip report. The mountain laurels are really impressive. Up here the best I have found are a couple inches in diameter and maximum of twenty feet tall. The old growth areas at Cook Forest likely had some bigger ones in the past, ad may still have them, but haven't found any. Deer browse is a big problem.
