Cool things I experienced along the way:
Trailhead is just off the main highway. Very convenient!
I was surprised to see this raccoon poking around the trailhead parking area at noon!!!
Somebody is following me!!!
The trail parallels the highway
Pretty trail for being so close to the highway! It's a pleasant surprise!
Oops! He passed me!
There he goes...
Now he's crossing a bridge...
Wait a minute! I know this guy! it's Eric!!!
He was visiting for our 27th Wedding Anniversary!
It's fun to have company on the trail!
This bridge goes almost a mile!
Big lake!
Bridge under major construction. Almost didn't go over this.
And just after the bridge, I come to...
What appears to be the end of the trail. No warning!
Guess I'll turn around...
At least the view is nice at the end of the trail.
Back across the bridge
The looooong boardwalk. Makes for a bumpy ride going 17mph!
Yep... it's a windy day, making for a good headwind on the return trip!
Denmark! I'm lost!!!
5 Mile Marker
The trail winds around this pretty retention pond.
The trail has a number of curves along the way. Fun!
A nursery along the trail and highway.
These signs were posted all along the trail.
Nice to have help with the bikes!!
Well... check another one off the list!
This was an easy, fun, beautiful ride!
Back to celebrating the anniversary now!
