We only walked a couple of miles or so before we turned around to head back so we weren't really sure where this trail led to, or if it looped back around.
It was an interesting enough trail that today I suggested to Toby we go back there with the bikes so we could cover more area to investigate.
The trail was semi-shady giving us a break from the heat...
We finally ran into a main road....
We stopped and enjoyed looking down into Brushy Creek from the bridge above....
The trail then circled back down up under the bridge.....
We came upon what looked to be an old train track trestle. It was really peaceful and I took the time out to stop and listen to the water flow on the creek and admire the old trestle while Toby rode on ahead.
It took me back in time for some reason, as if it reminded me of something from my early childhood, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was. I stood there and imagined the old train passing over the creek blowing it's horn...
The trail meandered along, but Toby had to go to work so we decided to head back and explore more at a later time. The portion we traveled was approximately 5 or 6 miles.
It's been awhile since we've been on the bikes and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
Tonight's sunset. Very pretty...
I'm glad you enjoyed the bike ride and got to finish following the trail!
ReplyDeleteI can't remember if you ever with with me and Dad to Chunchula to walk along the tracks there. I remember that there was an artesian well along that section of track and some pretty cold streams off the beaten trail a little. Not sure if that was what caused the nostalgia for you, but I sure remember back then whenever I am on tracks. I couldn't have been more than 13 the last time I remember Dad taking me out there, but I imagine I was much, much younger.
