Descent to Little Wolfs Creek
The Visitor and DreamCatcher descending down Trail to the valley floor and Little Wolf Creek.
We hop-scotched over the creek, crossing and refording it, smelling smoke. Two miles we hiked (Visitor, D.C. and me), thinking maybe it was a farmer burning leaves or Medicare Charlie burning trash. Another crossing of Little Wolf and we came up on Medicare snacking by the stream. Nope, not him -- he'd been wondering about the smoke, too. We hiked on. When we happened upon two dayhikers, they told us of a forest fire directly above us.
