We had a very large group today, which apparently displeased a nest of yellow jackets on a trail which never before was a problem. We had several stings, with one of our group needing emergency rescue help. (He knew he was allergic but didn't have an epi-pen with him.)  After treatment in a local hospital, all is well.

Island Ford shall heretofore be named Yellow Jacket Alley: today was the third Thursday hike with members getting stung. Beware!  ~ Joyce
