As soon as we got to top, one of my colleagues sat down right beside this Copperhead and immediately jumped up. It was nestled in a crack in the rock and very nicely camouflaged among the leaves. It appeared to have just finished shedding.
Less than half the trail is on former rail lines: the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad along western Lake Monona, and the Chicago and North Western Railway in the east. Most of the trail comprises a collection of paths (the Nine Springs E-Way, the John Nolen Lakeshore Path, and the Isthmus and East Side Bike Paths) that were renamed into a single trail.

A multi-use trail allows for two-way, off-street pedestrian and bicycle use. Wheelchairs, joggers, skaters and other non-motorized users are also welcome. These trails are frequently found in parks, along rivers, beaches and in greenbelts or utility corridors where there are few conflicts with motorized vehicles.
The other occupants of the apartment building considered the two couples very mysterious inasmuch as they seldom left the apartment, then usually for brief visits to the grocery store. During their occupancy, Floyd reportedly walked from the front to the rear of the apartment almost constantly, an activity that caused much curiosity on the part of the other building occupants. The two couples never visited with any of their neighbors, though they were friendly toward the neighborhood children who sometimes were permitted to enter the apartment. The women occasionally threw money from the windows of the apartment to the children playing in the street or offered them candy.
I've been on a roll with finding mossy sandstone bluffs in the central states. This being my last hike for now in the area, I figured I'd take it easy and just enjoy meandering through mini trails within Giant City State Park. The trails are wide and well-maintained, and great for a nature stroll.
We used the Outerspatial smartphone app the site recommended and while it was occasionally a little wonky, it worked well and helped guide us on some potentially confusing trail junctions. Even for urban hikes, I caution hikers to not rely solely on smartphones. Print out the paper maps if you can, or at the very least be sure you pack some extra charging power with you.
The process helps to reduce the amount of water entering the cracks over the winter, thus decreasing the opportunity for the trail surface to heave during the freeze/thaw cycles. The regular maintenance greatly extends the life of trailss.

Sixty percent of the $168 million, or $101 million, goes to arterial resurfacing, while 40%, or $67 million, goes to residential resurfacing. Projects may include such things as pavement repair, new asphalt, crack repairs, new wheelchair ramps, signal upgrades at intersections, as well as various other improvements.
A total of $20 million of program funds will go toward the construction of two new trails, as well as several resurfacing and signage improvements on seven already-existing trails. Officials said the funds spent on resurfacing will ensure that those trails are in great condition for safe and comfortable cycling.

This turned out to be the perfect birthday outing for my husband during the lockdown restrictions. It was a really fun experience. And my husband wants to check out other trails in different cities soon. It was so cool finding clues while spotting things we had never noticed in the city. We stopped half way through to have lunch outdoor with food we took along as all restaurants are closed due to the lockdown. Thank you so much. This is a brilliant concept. 2ff7e9595c
