Hi Mark,
Thanks for following up. You can see my gps track at the following :
John's gps trackIn the following picture you can see the location of the trees in my photo. South (I think) of your trees.

And finally, what I "guess" to be your route from the small lake to what I "guess" to be the trees referenced in your post.

So, the question I have for you is: How to get from my trees to your trees

?
