I did write a trip report of the following trip. I think you just missed it.

It is on page 3: "Wolverton to Roads End"

I should have known better, and searched it out. I read it, and enjoyed it at the time, and even wrote some comments on it; but had since forgotten. Sorry for the bother. I reread it this evening, and did have one new question regarding the "dog" you heard barking a you. Was it a coyote after all? I've had them bark at me several times before. Here's what you had written Daisy:
I was up at the main Sphinx Lakes at 9AM and spent half an hour circling Lake 10564 evaluating campsites. When I reached the northeast shore, a yellow-tan “dog” barked incessantly at me; then a coyote howled. I never head a person say anything to the dog, or what I thought was a dog. It did not make a lot of sense; dogs are not allowed here.
Properly trained, a man can be dog’s best friend.
