Yellow Barn SF, Dryden
It started to rain about five minutes after we got into the woods — wasn’t supposed to rain until afternoon and a number of us weren’t wearing any rain gear — quickly started to rain fairly hard, though we were somewhat sheltered by the trees — then, just as quickly, it stopped
I’ve never found a detailed map of Yellow Barn and it’s full of confusing woods roads and trails — we ran into a problem on the way back to the cars — we were going to go back along the edge of a big field but there were horses out and we were afraid the dogs might scare them — forced to bushwhack for a while — I like the break in routine but it made us late getting back
On the plus side, the areas that are normally muddy were dry, and the fall scenery was gorgeous
Official head count: 30H, six D
