Hello Hikers!
Wednesday July 12
Shindagin Hollow SF bike trails
Great dark and sultry morning — there was rain in the area and it hit us slightly hard about 20 minutes before we wrapped up.
Official head count: 14H, three D
Saturday July 15
Tamarack lean-to, South Danby
We changed our plans at the last minute and hiked in the opposite direction out of concern the originally scheduled hike would be too muddy after all the rain
Lots of big succulent-looking Chanterelles growing in the pine needles, and a number of hikers took some home — shortly after Tiger and I got home we got a flash message from Norm, our native plants guy — Notify everyone these are false Chanterelles !! — Mushroom people online don’t seem to agree whether these are safe or not
Official head count: 16H, three D

Lake Road, Dryden, east into Cortland County on the FLT
Official head count: 18H, six D
