Nineteen of us, including 2 first hikers, trekked 5 miles through Bilderbeck County Forest  and around Arnold Lake in Otsego County. The weather held off for the most part with some drizzle. The trail was wet and muddy  in spots. We ate lunch on the lawn of a camp overlooking the lake and returned on the road rather than hike back on the muddy county forest trail. Some of us stopped at the tiny Willow Creek Farm Brewery in the middle of nowhere after the hike. The beer was good and Bob, the brewmaster and owner was a character.
