However, when Mary finished getting her gear together and taking pictures of signs, she started down the left trail, thinking we were already out of sight. After much back-tracking by Steve and Jackie, hollering without getting a reply, driving up the hill to the gate and back, Mary wandered back up the trail she was on, we were reunited and all 3 made our way down the short trail to the slough.
[Mary: I am sorry and embarrassed that I took the wrong trail, and I enjoyed it thoroughly!]
