March 27 - Back to Tusc County

Kay, the tree hugger
Today we drove south into Tusc County again to Bolivar to the Fort Laurens Memorial, where there is a towpath trailhead. This is a very pretty area, with a tomb of an unknown soldier form the Revolutionary War. Once on the trail, we quickly came to a bridge that carries the trail right over I-77. This is very cool, to be able to walk above this major highway and still be on the towpath trail. Not too far in, there are three locks in close proximity to one another. We heard several pileated woodpeckers today, but neither of us was able to get a photo of any of them! We walked to the 82 mile marker, which is where I had left off last time we went to Zoar. It was chilly today, but partly sunny, which made for great hiking weather. A very pleasant outing indeed!
