This is an old mining access trail going off of the Trapper Trail. Where it goes I am not entirely sure, but the hills around this area are rife with these old trails, roads, and double tracks. They make for great mountain bike rides, though!

When I was little ..... being a train driver seemed such a glamorous job

Yeah the trail degrades that much quicker but now there is lesser of a chance of a joint being rolled on course.

This is another one of those confusing trails. The lower portion of the Cedar Grove trail at the junction with Elderberry signage seems to indicate that it is OK to use this trail for mountain biking, while the upper portion says No. It is also confusing since the Cedar Grove trail seems to have three branches that radiate from the junction with the Elderberry Trail.

A jab at Phone Bashers...for those in the know.

"You're in the wrong parking lot!" he yelled, two seconds before he found himself in the wrong parking lot too.

Interesting juxtaposition. What affected one that didn't affect the other? Did the one try to grow too fast and had undeveloped roots? Are the conditions that different on one side of the road?

This is the former east bridge abutment for the LE&P flyover that used to exist in Brady Lake, Ohio. It carried the LE&P's westbound mainline track over the C&P (now the NS Cleveland Line - the doubletrack main in the foreground) and joined the LE&P's eastbound mainline track (the track at right going uphill). This trestle was removed in the 1990s as a part of Conrail's doublestack clearance project.
