Eventually I came to a break in the trail. It simply ended at a levee. So from the top of the levee I took some photos as I turned a full 360. And with that I started back the way I came. To view some close up shots of my journey, visit my other blog pic folio.

Yellow Hiker Trail

Once across the bridge, I noticed two signs. One was for a hiker trail and the other one was for a horseback riding trail. Up until that point the trails were combined

The Bridge

This time I decided to go straight ahead across a bridge. It is over a canal covered in algae. I shot some panoramic photos.

NAD Trail

Having reached an intersection of several trails, I chose to follow the NAD Trail that is marked green. I never did find the World War II Magazines on the trail, however. Eventually I wound up at the same intersection of trails.

Tall Cypress Trees

As I continued my journey, I kept photographing the tall cypress trees reaching for the sky. The sky was beautiful with few clouds. These were taken sometime after 3 p.m.

Continuing the Green Trail

Blue skies combined with the tall cypress trees made this my favorite part of the green trail. There were plenty of large roots to photograph as well. A few times I had to remind myself to look where I was stepping.

Old NAD Trail

Before I knew it, I had made full circle - hence the “loop.” So this time I chose the green trail, also known as Old NAD Trail. I never did find out what “NAD” is.
