Sunday, August 15, 2010 - Another Ride Day

We decided to take another, shorter ride today, leaving on Horseshoe Lane, a trailhead heading east out of the camp. It was an old roadbed for a while, with some gravel, but it wasn't long before it petered out and became another nice trail. It weaved throughout some of the oldest trees we've seen yet, obviously having been missed in the conflagration much of the rest of the area suffered 70 years ago. We took every loop, having learned by now that every trail here has a purpose to it, not just trails for the sake of trails. We weren't disappointed. This trail's end loop took us to a well-placed bench (of which there were many in this forest) with another fantastic view of the shoreline. Truly a fantastic spot, and being just off 101 makes it even more convenient. Highly recommended!
