Heart Of Pine Trail
South Entrance
People enjoyed Briar Trail so much that I decided to build another trail in
the same general part of the land. So in the Fall of 2002, me, dad, Mike
Agnew & Mike's stepson Casey blazed a new trail that runs mainly north and
south and crosses the Briar Trail. The north end of the trail pops out at
Agnew's Track.
Just north of the south entrance is a big ditch. I took this picture while
standing on the south cliff of the ditch which runs left and right. The
photo doesn't make the ditch look very deep or wide. Heart Of Pine Trail
runs down into the ditch and then out of the ditch via the small tributary
on the far side. Pretty cool.
There was a large standing dead pine tree in the very bottom of the big ditch
that I mentioned above. We needed to remove the tree, but it turns out that
it had a very hard "heart" as some dead pines do. My chainsaw cut through
the first several inches of the dead tree very well, but Mike and I wore out
two chains trying to cut through the heart! Therefore, I named the trail
"Heart Of Pine Trail". You can see the hard heart of the pine prodruding out
its bottom.
I was standing on Briar Trail when I took this picture. The 4-wheeler is on
the "Heart Of Pine Trail" where it crosses Briar.
