 | Comments: |
VERY nice day for this (mostly) loop with spurs.... actually took the Old Highway all the way back (north) from its 113 junction near the LongHaul Farm. From there, northbound, it's a BEAUTIFUL double-stonewalled old road past the Burleigh sugar house and onto True Farm Road. Unfortunately, some areas had an abundance of poison ivy - had to be careful. Anyway, it nicely parallels 113 and offers views of Belted Galloway Cows and various farm houses/barns/animals. Also ran into a fair amount of wildlife..... QUITE AWESOME!!!!!! |
