Trudge on....
All decisions as to which way to go at trail crosings, are made by the scouts. 

Occasionally, they check with the adults to ask if the adults concur......

Sometimes, they miss the dreaded double blaze (trail turns here) and they keep walking the path or road...

until one of the adults whistle to let them know  that they need to come back a bit to reconsider....
This another section of the forest we hiked through.

It was obviously burned a while back and all of the grass that was lying domant sprouted.
