Hello Hikers!
Wednesday Sept 7
Railroad right-of-way from Dryden to Freeville — road walk
We tried out a new walk, northwest from downtown Dryden toward Freeville on an abandoned railroad right-of-way
Very pleasant and interesting overall, though it was a little warm to be out in the sun
Lots of good scenes off the the side along the way, and we made a couple of brief side trips
Norm got a new camera the day before and he resumed his habit of shooting video of us as we shuffled along — you can see his latest here (it’s the item on the far right)
Official head count: 18H, two D

Saturday Sept 10
Shindagin Hollow SF, rim trail along Shindagion gorge
Fantastic dark and sultry morning … a little rain on the windshield driving to the trail head, rain nearby showing on the doppler radar — these are ideal conditions for hiking along this picturesque trail, but it was much too dark for photos in the woods
So here we are on our way back to the cars — it turned sunny at the very end
We had the first appearance of a dog who will become a new super-regular, Sophie
I thought it was time for us to check in with Norm’s very extravagant beard ….
