The missing link...

I took a short hike in the evening  on the Waterline Trail east of Keeney. It was a productive hike as I found the trail link over the stream bed.

I went right at the intersection
South Branch

There was another potential spot for a trail crossing here... Marked "Y" on map

There's a defined singletrack trail on the wide waterline "roadbed"

Where that defined trail turns to the right is where the missing link exists...

The descent takes you down to the stream crossing...

The stream crossing - not too messy!

Once on the south side of the stream, its a short messy climb to get to the former ATV trails...

I took this trail remnant up to where it intersected with the main trail

Yep - this is the main trail...

On the return back over the stream, I snapped a photo of a nice section of the old ATV trails...

Here's the crossing going back north - the water line trail is the flat section ahead...

The money shot  - grass on the waterline trail in the early evening sun...
