Eastern Ashenvale

We decided to continue and perhaps finish off exploring Ashenvale and hopefully pick up enough XP along the way to get our next levels, so we flew out to Forest Song. From there we went northeast to try to finish up that last corner of the region, but we didn't get very far before spotting some very powerful (level ??) mobs - dragons, or something like that, walking around in groups of three.

In the distance I could see structures that I think are the ruins we're supposed to find for one quest, but we couldn't see a way to get around the bad guys. At one point Kate got just a little too close and we found out just how powerful they were when one of them went after her and spit poison - it was an instant wipe, one shot. We can't hope to take on something like that yet.

There may be a way around by taking the road a little further east then cutting north, but for the time being we decided to head south and try to find Felfire Hill.

So we cut through the Warsong Logging camp, whacking scouts and others as we went, until we reached a river. The area on the other side turned out to be Felfire Hill, and we were able to knock out two quests there and both got our new levels on the way.

Further to the south we found a canyon leading up into the hills and while we got some more good XP around there we didn't find any back way into the Barrens as I'd hoped. Perhaps there's something further west, but for now we'd done enough and we decided to head back. We followed the road north back through the lumber camp until we reached the main east-west road but instead of going to Forest Song right away we went east since we were close to the border with Azshara. We came to a bridge and just beyond that we found Talrendis Point, an Alliance outpost with a flightmaster. We were able to get repairs done there, then we flew to Forest Song (even though it's not a long walk) to close out our completed quests and from there we hearthstoned to the Exodar for the night.
