Hello Hikers!
Wed Oct 3
Treman SP — west on the FLT from Route 13
Another rainy dark morning — but the rain was so light it hardly registered under the trees, and we had a lovely walk
Official head count: 14H, five D

Shindagin Hollow SF, Braley Hill Road to Shindagin Hollow Road on the FLT
The forecast just before the hike said it wouldn’t rain until afternoon — but it started to look ominous at the trail head, and then it got exceptionally dark in the woods — started to rain about 1/3 of the way into the hike — then it started to pour — I hadn’t brought a rain coat
Luckily it was very mild, and the rain slacked off after a while
Fantastic atmospherics
It was very muddy in spots and very wet in spots — we had a visiting hiker who wore dress shoes and corduroy pants — he somehow managed to navigate without getting any mud on himself
Official head count: 18H, three D
Sun Oct 7
Michigan Hollow Road to The Pinnacles Look-out on the south leg of the Abbot Loop, Danby SF
One of our muddiest hikes ever, and generally very slippery — slow going for most of us, but a small group managed to race up to the Pinnacles and get back in two hours despite the poor walking conditions
Official head count: 26H, eight D
