Another trip to Black Creek Park to ride Cain Creek Rails to Trails on my Giant Seek 1. This is a really nice park, complete with ball fields, a children's park and a dog park, along with the biking/walking trail. A round trip is about 12 miles, easy to add more miles with a few offshoots. There are also several trails (walking/hiking) that lead down to the creek. Trail surface is hard pack gravel with only a few soft spots.

Had to do a bit of limbo to get under this fallen tree. It seemed to be even lower on the return ride.


A sample of the Red Rock Trail markers that PhotoKid1970 mentioned.


A short ride from the end of the rail trail on Powder Mill Rd will bring you to this rural Post Office.


My favorite photo op site at the abandoned trestle crossing New Castle Rd.


The Children's Park has 8 or 9 animal statues, including this giraffe.


And this elephant. There is also a hippo, storks/pelicans, a fish, a smaller giraffe, and 2 bears near the entrance.
