This past week, I finally felt recovered enough from my injuries to bead back out to the hiking/biking trails. Until now, I’ve been either just circling the block or doing laps at the indoor track.
I felt a strong yearning to get back out to the many rewards of nature offered in our trail system here.
On the first trail, at about the 1K (2/3 of a mile) point and at a fork in the road, I came across this barrier pushed off to the side (feature photo).
Now what? Do sinkholes get filled in? Do they miraculously resolve? Who pushed the barrier to the side? Should I turn back?
I decided to forge ahead and was happy I did. There was no sinkhole to be seen on the path I chose at the fork. Whew!
This was what greeted me:
