Date: Sun Mar 27 22:33:14 2011
Subject: I've returned to where I started and snapped this photo. Facing East, the line extends well beyond the trees in the background to Tillman Rd and points east. Between me and Tillman is nothing but a quary and the R-O-W is destroyed by quary activity.

Subject: This is the beginning of the trail to switchbacks 2&3. The gate was installed many years ago and after the natural gas pipeline was laid. The gate was to prevent automobile traffic from driving over the gas line. The concrete abutments that carried the Cross Forks rail traffic over this line is just ahead and barely viewable in this photo.

Subject: The heavy rains the week before had delayed my skiing due to a lot of run off. It would have been very difficult to ski with such a large amount of fast moving water. I found out the hard way on a separate x/c ski day in NY

Subject: I am now standing looking at the r-o-w at Junction Rd heading westerly towards switchbacks 2&3. SB #3 would be first from this direction. I am also standing on the spot I was about to be stuck in up to the frame of my car. It wasn't nice.

Subject: That’s my friend Chris Bell who gives perspective on the area. He provided me with a lot of information on the area and gave me a lot of help. I would not have been able to do this otherwise.

Subject: Looking down the side of the mountain, you can begin to make out the rising r-ow- with patches of snow on the line. Look at the base of each Fern tree and you’ll see the r-o-w. This is the section between SB 2&3.

Subject: This is the B&S crossing Junction Rd. The road right in front of me curving to the right and up is Junction Rd. The other road in the shade is Switchback Rd or the r-o-w headed in an easterly direction with SB 4&5 a few miles away.
