d&l has a new trailhead

After the hike Lydia and I went to check out the new trailhead on the D&L. This stretch used to be 21 miles between trailheads. I don't think it was used much other than at each of the ends. Build some parking lots and people will come.

Since it's my goal to walk the whole D&L this summer I had to check out the Ringing Rocks trail head. The cool part is the county owns the property up to the rock field, so is planning—in the future—to build a trail from the lot to the park.

On the property where the lot is are two old, crumbling buildings. They need some signage. We followed a path, but that took us to a road. No trail. Then Lydia saw a bridge in the distance. That looks like a canal bridge, let's go that way. The canal path ran under the bridge.

The canal path in this area is narrow. A one person trail. But the canal is open and full of non-stagnant water.  It was a pleasant change.
