| Riffi is about to lead us on the search for the elusive Return Path. |
You can tell the group is really, really serious about finding The Path. |
 |
 |
| We're nearing the region of the last known sighting of The Return Path. Time to fortify ourselves before the great hunt. |
Note for future hikers. When you reach this tree, turn here. How can you tell when you've found this tree? Well, it's a redwood. Clear now? |
 |
 |
| Toadstools, mushrooms, and fungus are in full bloom today. |
If Robin's going in, Riffi is going with her. If you found the tree for the Return Path, you should eventually come to this stream. If, instead, you come to a highway, you missed the Return Path. |
 |
 |
| Success. At this end, the Fall Creek is easy to cross. |
This doesn't do justice to the beauty of the Fall Creek basin. You need to go there yourself. Fall is a particularly great time. |
 |
 |
| I'm not sure if this is why they call it the Fall Creek. There are certainly a lot of fallen trees across the creek. |
One of the many feeder streams. |
 |
 |
| How hard must the trail be that the horse lost his shoe, nails and all, alongside the creek bed? |
We made the loop, with Riffi's help. |
 |
|
| Just another one of the many spectacular views along the creek. |
