Mapping 3:19:44 [1] 5.94 mi (33:37 / mi) +281ft 32:11 / mi
shoes: Saucony Cohesion
Powder Mills mapping, north section of the park. Lots of improvement opportunities in this part of the park.
In the NW section of the park, I reached a sign that said park boundary, but it looked like a very well established (and blazed) trail kept going along the creek, and there were no "posted" signs nor did I feel like I was in anyone's back yard, so I decided to follow it. I went until I arrived at the "daffodil meadow", which had a very nice stone memorial to Bill Hearne in it. I knew there had been a memorial to him put in place but I had no idea where it was -- now I know.
Also, in another area, there was a "no trespassing" sign which was quite clearly on park land -- not TOO far from private land but much further in than could be explained by the homeowner accidentally putting it a little on public land. There was a lot of distinct contour detail in that part of the park, so it was quite obvious that it was on park land. If someone obeys it, it would cut out a small section of reasonably interesting open-wooded terrain. I'm going to try to determine how I can report this to the parks dept and ask them to investigate.
When I was walking through one small gravel parking lot in the NW area of the park, I noticed a car with an OUSA sticker on it. In about 10 minutes, I ran into Carol Moran on one of the trails.
Then later, while walking back to my car along the road, I ran into Wilt Alston who was out for a run.
