Trip 10 - Bikeway's Northeast End at New Poad Road

Observations:

1.) The trail looks like it originally kept going in a straight line like it has been.  In some weeds, there is a sign that says the trail ends.  However, I see a blacktop path that keeps going in the direction of the trail beyond the weeds.  I later found out that that path goes to a house.  Did the trail originally go that way?

2.) Just like the other Bikeway, this one ends at New Poag Road (See Trip 2).

3.) Down a steep hill, off the road there is an odd area that looks like it was partially cleared a long while ago.

4.) By the way, why is Counseling Services so dang far away???

5.) I have no idea why you need a fancy bridge here, but okay.

6.) This pathway has several marble memorial benches alongside it.  I don’t have a clue who any of the people on them are or what they have to do to get their names on a bench.
