View down the road
We go around the corner here. The signs are a bit confusing. The signs are mostly for straight but the street is not far down.
The hill up to the road is tough you can see the angle and it goes for about 10 feet down into the woods.
Nice bridge in the initial woods section. It's a bit of a step but not bad. I had my dog dazzer and it fell off here since it was such a step up.
Paradise
Not sure but looks like some left over from canal days.

Nice box chunky Bob. It's the owner apparently.
It was good I had half a 15 inch at the bar and took the rest to go. Not too good for my diet but it was good and a nice story.
