Instead of a stroll  through the woods, the first part of the hike at Basswood Pond was a trek through a waste land. DEC had, for some reason, clear cut most of the northern part of the forest and eliminated some of the trails. 

We also surprised and woke up a woman camping in the lean-to by the pond. The rest of the 4-mile hike for the 23 participants was uneventful on a warm, sunny late fall day.
