Most of the trail looks like this:
An old Farmall along the way.
An old trestle a few miles from Buxton.
At the Vernonia end of the trail, there is a little lake once used by the mill. We also found a cafe in town for a mid-ride break. Wow, nothing says Summer quite like fresh strawberry shortcake.

Next to the lake was this building, apparently it was used to store fuel for the mill. Looks plain enough on the outside.
A real gem inside.
Not your average graffiti.
Here is another site that is definitely not in the brochure.
What could go wrong here? |
That's all for now.

We have ridden that trail for years before the State improved/destroyed it. It was mostly dirt and had some challenging single track by the trestle. At the lake you still can buy a hot dog from Larry at the white trailer during the dry season. We have ridden it in light rain and it is quite refressing. We take off from Gaston, about 32 miles round trip. The "seasoned" road bikers still use the highway - dangerous, but no horses to deal with!
