On Saturday, February 27, Robert Medley and Judi Nail will lead a hike to Wolf Creek, which is a tributary of Big Creek.  There are a couple of places that need caution when driving down the hill on the muddy dirt road. We will meet hikers at the intersection of Highway 7 and Highway 16 just out of Deer, there is room to pull over on the side of highway 16 there.
