You make a point, although with the green, the track is more "lost" in the
encroaching foliage, so it looks more like Nature reclaiming the land...
I'll try to get both.
I was hoping to walk the entire track, including coming back on the return
road, but that looks like it's totally been overgrown with heavy weeds and
trees. And there's a small creek that runs through the property - beavers
have dammed it up, and there's now a reasonably deep flooded area back
there now, so I think a hundred feet or so of the return road is completely
underwater.
