Parked just south of the bridge near the 65 on Quaker Drive. Walked 65 > 70, looped the green footpath. Couldn't find the 71. Found a 67 (not on the map) near where we'd expect the 68. Didn't find the 69 at a bridge over a lovely brook. Bridge was difficult to get to because of a blowdown blocking access. A gate and signs on the other side alerted us to Audubon land - no dogs allowed. We turned back, guessed that the forest road might be the stretch running from 69 to 62. It was, and we did find 66 with what looked like a footpath behind it along the way. From 62, we went to 61 and saw that the footpath appeared obscured by more growth and blowdowns. Instead, we went to 60 then roadwalked to 63. We took 63 (wet in parts) thinking to find 64. We missed that, but ended up back at the 67, confirming the likeliehood that it is where the 68 ought to be. We went back via 71 > 70 > 65.
Some very pretty stretches, but not nearly as well maintained as the trails on the north side of Quaker roads. Lots of blowdowns, lots of obscured footbed. Some beautiful ponds waterways. Fun, but not what you'd expect from having hiked on the other side of the road.
