Ryan is a raccoon who's been up to no good and his conscience is bothering him. At night, Ryan pilfers from the cabins on the creek (a tributary to which has been named for him) and he caches his ill-gotten goods. Then, believing he has been spotted and is being chased by giants, he panics and retreats to a peaceful place... his den. - - - Help Ryan sleep easily by re-tracing his adventure to retrieve the loot from his cache and thus the guilt from his mind. To undo his misdeed, you will follow Ryan's adventure in reverse! The start coordinates will bring you to a roadside place to begin looking for the glowing eyes of Ryan's friends in the night. If you have a UV light, bring it too (there are several of Ryan's friends that respond well to UV). Follow the trail of glowing white eyes and green turn markers down to the area of Ryan's den by the stream. This is a peaceful place if you need a rest. Then make a left and let his friends lead you to his cache of stolen goods at the feet of the smiling Giants in the Night. Then, from his cache (there is no going back) proceed onward and out, following more of his friend's glowing eyes, to the road where Ryan first ran into the woods. You'll exit onto the same road on which you are parked and only 500' further northward along the shoulder. Turn left and return to your vehicle. While Ryan can frolic about in the woods with no problems, you may have to exercise a bit more care. Be ready for some light brush, sticks and logs on the ground and a bit of dampness. You will NOT have to cross the stream. Ryan thanks you!
