Woodard Road NW to Hines Road and beyond, Enfield
The first part of this walk was badly overgrown in spots — the weeds were so thick and high it was almost impossible to see the path in spots — a big problem because the trail in this section has areas full of roots, snags and ruts — I realized that many of our trails would quickly look like this if we didn’t have the Cayuga Trails Club to maintain them regularly
We decided not to walk back on the overgrown part of the trail — we took the shortcut back on the road system instead
Luckily it wasn’t too hot and we were comfortable on the final leg
Official head count: 23H, five D

Bald Hill Road to the Abbott Loop and Thatcher’s Pinnacles, Danby SF
The Pinnacles Look-out has gotten increasingly overgrown in recent years, and the view now is very unsatisfying in mid-summer. We always do a group shot when we reach the summit, but now I pose the hikers against the woods because I find the lighting better (not everyone’s shown)
Official head count: 36H, six D

We’ll have a get-together on Labor Day
I think it’s a great holiday to mark with a party (assuming it’s not raining). Stay tuned
