The Rest of the Trail...

Approaching one of two new bridges on this stretch. I like the retro 'rusted metal' bridges here. This is the 4th from the Dam to Capital.

This fence runs along a good stretch of the trail. I believe it is the factory/quarry the runs along US-1, right across from Sheetz.
--
Yup, that's Capital. Lots of traffic! Trail is not quite finished through this area. It transitions from asphalt to concrete under Capital, in preparation for the long boardwalk bridge over some apparently swampy land.

So this is as close as I could get. Around the bend, I spotted some construction workers. So we'll wait for a weekend and begin exploring further!

New Falls River/Dump Greenway

Happy 4th of July! Today we decided on a bike ride on the new Greenway. This small terminus starts just down the hill from our usual Falls River Greenway and will eventually hook into the Mountains to Sea Trail along the Neuse. Lots of work still in the works though.

Heading up the trail--a couple hills up and down along this stretch.

The bridge at the bottom of the hill. These rustic looking bridges, pre-rusted, are all along the new Greenway. Really classy!http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

This bridge is over a swamp that will go to the trail head. From it you can go into the North Raleigh Landfill Park or left, and eventually tie into the MTST and go to Johnston County or Falls Dam. That way is not yet open, as they are building another boardwalk bridge over swampland. I'll try to take the EVO out for a run this week for some pics.
