Huckleberry Bog in early August

What a delight to revisit part of the Finger Lakes Trail system which became a favorite hike for all nine in our group.  The path from Bean Station Road up the hill to the North Trailhead was much dryer this visit.  Also, more Red Eft Eastern Newts than Ladies Slippers or Gaywings.  The borrowed guidebooks still very accurate!
