Excellent work Doug. One thing I do recall is that just after the Hideaway road branches off Shellrock there is an access to what I figured was the...
That cross trail has been elusive. Kind of hard to hunt on account of being in the rhodie band. I have watched for it during the annual maintenance ru...
I hope they didn't rename the trail. But now that you mention it, the old signs are gone. The ones from the Skyline Era. I seem to recall the one on t...
