Had to stop and get donuts of course at Yoders.

I like these better than Millers and they are right off 32

It was a short hike on road to off road

Trail in good shape

I think there is a fence we crossed

No issues here

Nice view on the trail.

In Davis preserve you will see many of these signs.  Pointing out a number of things from type of rock to tree types.
