Day 146 - Exploring Trails

Ogunquit, ME view map

(877/365)
A few days back I got stuck behind a slow driver on my "Pre Memorial Day" Back roads commute. I was forced to slow down and started looking around, I noticed this trail that veered off to the right so I did a 180 and tested it out. I actually had my Kodak Playsport helmet cam on at the time too. I didn't go very far, just enough to see that it was very doable on the Strom. I checked Google Maps and it actually appeared as an unnamed dirt road (though it's not a road and it's not dirt). There was a river crossing that showed up on the maps so I figured I'd check it out. Turns out there is this old wooden bridge. I checked it out, there are 4 tree trunks beneath the rotting boards that felt pretty solid. I'm actually on the other side of the bridge in this photo, on my return trip back. I had a little bit of fun, I didn't follow the trail to the end, its rutted and grown in, I was worried that it might either end or become unpassable at a point where I couldn't turn the "Litre Class Bike" around. A couple hundred yards down from the bridge is a clearing that I was able to turn around in. The trail got much steeper a little further on.
