Six hikers transversed 10 miles, 1200 feet elevation gain, 100s of flowers-trillium, foam flowers, spurred violets, a phlox that wanted to be a trillium, wild geranium, ragwort, and more, ten thousand boulders or so it seemed. The hike started at the Grundy Forest trailhead to Fiery Gizzard and lunch at Raven’s Point. Tired and satiated hikers, wishing for a nap, pushed forward for the return trip on the Dog Hole trail to the trailhead at Grundy Forest. We started with 6 hikers and returned with 3. Fifty percent attrition. Oh, that’s not good, is it? Yet everyone texted when they reached the trailhead.

I asked the librarian if they had any books on paranoia. She said "they are right behind you"!
