Walking 3:30:00 [2]
Led SC hike at La Barque. Due to cold weather and off-trail, we expected 8-10 hikers, but 22 showed up and enjoyed it! Went in fine, but coming out I was seduced to follow 'new' road in lieu of long off-trail 'hike through saplings' - OOPS. Crossed over a ridge instead of following it - partly because I'd under-estimated N distance. 2 GPS'ers saved me (how embarrassing!) but it kept the error small (0.5 mile) and finished fine. Hikers enjoyed seeing the many off-trail rock features and ruins of La Barque and DRSP and I kept the climb down to 2 long climbs.
