THE HIKE:
The hike starts on the service road, which is a wide mowed path, where Firemens Memorial Drive ends. |
All kinds of birds and flowers along this mowed path but only the flowers stood still for pictures. |
At the end of the mowed path, a large clearing. Turn left to ... |
... the rail bed which is the 1-mile hiking trail. |
Old railroad ties along the way. |
Swamps on either side of the rail bed. |
Minisceogo Golf Course on the right towards the end of the trail. |
A remaining railroad tie. |
The trail comes out at ... |
Station Road with an American Legion Hall on the left. |
Because we were pressed for time and Shawnee was getting very tired, we turned left on Station Road, |
then left behind the Provident Bank Park to shortcut back to the car. |
Finally some shade. It wasn't that hot for me but in full sun it was hot for her. |
The fire training center on Firemens Memorial Drive. |
