Trail looks Boring

IMO, the ability to make your way across most of a state on a trail that is apart from motor vehicle traffic is anything but boring. But, to each his own.

We've been to Lexington a few times, but never have carried the bikes with us. That may change for our next trip, based on this video! Awesome looking bike path! Thanks for sharing! Cool fact, most of the pedestrian and bike path bridges that you see throughout the country, like the ones at 4:26 and 9:13, are constructed in Fort Payne, Alabama and shipped all over the country. Ft. Payne is the home of the Super Group Alabama and formerly known as the Sock Capital of the World. The same company that builds bridges, also built that giant teeter totter that Toyota used in its Tundra commercial from a few years ago. Just a little useless knowledge about my neck of the woods. LOL

If you stop at that big tower, which stores storm water so it can be released gradually, you will find restrooms, a water fountain with bottle filling capability, and tables and benches (between the McGranthiana trailhead and the tunnel under the interstate). There is a pump and bike repair stand at the McGranthiana trailhead, and one where the trail runs parallel to Newtown Pike, near the crossing.

@@jakeatterson2641 The main thing is to store your food apart from where you camp, in a “bear bag”. Some people carry bear spray. Personally, I’d be excited to see one, from a distance. If it came towards me at all, I’d talk loud and just tell it to go away. They have bear proof trash cans there and you want to make sure to use those.

I did the Katy Trail back in 2020 with one of my closest friends. We had an absolute blast. Pending on the time of the year those big green nuts laying in the trail can be hazardous if not paying attention. The only close call we had was a skunk was on one of those old wooden bridges.

We just returned from completing this loop and had a wonderful time. ….couple of observations. The state forest sites require booking online, but if your plans change there is no signal. With the exception of Bunnel Flats we were the only people. The horseflies are brutal,…bring lots of bug spray, Colton Pt State Park is first come, with a cash or check drop box. We were there on 7/23 and the only people there, had signal and the reservation system indicated all sites were booked….? Also, we looked at 7 different campsites at Colton Pt State Park that the tent pad sites were covered in dog feces…it was not fox. The forest roads were the best part….only one vehicle passed us. The paninis at Pag-Omar market were just awesome. The store sign said open at 10am, but the staff let us in at 8:30. Petticoat Junction has hot showers…25 cents for 3 min….4 quarters was plenty of time. They also have a laundromat..and sell soap. Everyone we met was very friendly.

We love exploring new areas by bike while traveling full-time in our RV! I just rode 40 miles of the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, which is 100% gravel and runs 95 miles from St. Johnsbury so Swanton, VT. (longest in New England)... you would love it. From mile 0.0 it climbs 1200' non-stop for the first 18 miles, then downhill until the end. Conversely, if you start from Swanton, VT you'd essentially have a 77 mile climb 😐Enjoy the rest of your trip! We'll be camping near Lexington, KY next spring!

My wife is big time into genealogy. We have our roots traced back into the 1600's. As we drive around the country in our RV we always do day trips to find homes and cemeteries. In Iowa we found an old grave and the headstone had been pushed over by delinquents, as were many others. I drove my Jeep right up to the grave, dug under the headstone as it was 10" in he ground (obelisk type), wrapped a recovery strap under it, tied it onto the Jeep and was able to lift the headstone completely back into place, which we promptly cleaned. NOTE: Never use bleach or other chemicals to clean headstones!!! Only use D2 or regular soap and water with a soft brush. Thanks, and great work!

Thanks for the kind words. I'm sorry to say that I do not have a road route to be able to offer you for LBL. I will offer that the easternmost 2-3 miles of the Central Hardwoods Trail is paved and there is paved multiuse trail that extends east of LBL, to the east, I think all the way to Cadiz. The Woodlands Trace National Scenic Byway also runs through the entirety of LBL from North to South. And many of the forest roads in LBL that start with the number 1 are paved. Hope that helps!
