Here was my near-final sojourn as part of the Georgetown Running
Club’s 2020 Summer Tour, as Labor Day was tomorrow (which was the last day of
the challenge). I have to thank Bill for
coming up with the idea, and keeping the inspirational fires burning. This fell into my “new area” category, as
while I’d been to Bull Creek before, I’d never gone on this trail. In the parking lot off of 360, there’s a
fenced off area which says access is only allowed between certain months. It was within that period, and there was a
hidden gap in the fence, so entering was easy.
This trail winds a short distance through the woods, and takes you
to an overlook to get a good view of the gorge.
But there’s another trail from the entrance which isn’t as well marked
which takes you into the heart of the preserve.
As you increase in elevation, the tree cover goes away. The farther I went up the trail, I could see
a “white object” (barely visible in the third picture) and I decided to head
towards that. I had enough fluids with
me, and eventually made it to the plateau which had the white water tower on
it. Not really a nature item, but it was
a worthy goal to have gone towards.
There was a secondary trail which I followed to circle me around
back to where I started. There was even
less tree cover, but it was all downhill, thus was easier. While I was there, I did wander around the
gorge area for a brief time, only to add some extra steps to my pedometer
count.
