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. |
 |
| Back at the parking area at the end of Firemens Memorial Drive. |
