Always, when we're back in Athens County, Ohio, I manage to get out on the bike path at least once. Sometimes on my bicycle, sometimes to find a few of the multitude of geocaches hidden along the way, and almost always a walk with my good friend whom I worked with for 20 years. She is also retired now, so has more flexibility as to when we walk.

I know that it has been extended in both directions and may even have some spurs to other areas, but I don't know how many miles it is these days. It's a "rails to trails" path... not just for bicycles, but for walkers, runners, skateboarders, roller bladers.... anything except motorized vehicles. There used to be evidence of the old railroad... whistle stop markers and the like. They may still be there, but I didn't see any today.

Old railroad beds frequently have plants growing along side that aren't found in other places. This particular area was a narrow dirt road that used to end at an electric power substation. I first learned about it when my field biology classes took trips out there to learn the local wild flowers and such. Since most of the flat lands along the river were farmed, sometimes we'd find a singing field for woodcock. We'd use a tape recorder of the male call to attract other males... invading their territory, you know.

While I didn't see the Dutchmen Breeches, Squirrel Corn or Wild Ginger, I saw plenty of trillium...
