Back before Circle Switch and Ancients existed, parking at the college made more sense.

But they have always "existed"

Riding on an actual trail is optional right now!

Yeah, I obviously meant before they were "rediscovered," but most people aren't aware that those trails have all been there since the beginning of time.

We used to ride those trails in the 70's on our dirt bikes and swim in ancients pond. So yeah they've been around a long time. Lunar Valley double track to orange was supposed to be used by Indians in Franklin Cove area near Buttermilk Falls hundreds of years ago.

 

[JerseyPete]

Wet on the main fireroads and dry on the single track.
