Mary checks her map with help from others



Today, Sunday Dec. 16, 2007 (which incidentally is Tyler's 1/2 year birthday), Jim, Vickie, Mike, and I hiked from the Redtown Trailhead to the Sky Country Trailhead. We started down Redtown Trail and turned up Indian Trail. I meant to have us turn right onto Quarry Trail but as Jim got me talking I inadvertantly missed the turn. When the mistake was discovered, we were far down Indian Trail so turned off at Far Country Trail. We looped through the lookout point and continued on this beautiful secluded trail which turned into Shy Bear Trail, turning right into Fred's Railroad Trail. We soon were on familiar ground and reached Sky Country Trailhead. We took a shorter route back and found we had hiked 5 miles which took 3 hours. Our extended distance cost us an hour but made an enjoyable and rewarding hike.
