CAUTION! Mad rattle snake. My path would have been directly across this snake's head, if it wasn't for the racket it made when I wandered within about 10 feet of it. This is also where the Bear Sign trail heads off to the west from the Dry Creek trail. At this point Hakan and I didn't know that the others had taken the Bear Sign trail. From here we continued up Dry Creek. I also told Hakan that the next time the trail crosses the creek, he leads.
