And now, this.


I'm so lucky to have such a resourceful older sis to expose me to the infinite possibilities of the web:

Worst Hiking Trail (Review) Ever

This sounds like the shittiest hiking trail ever.

(From http://www.everytrail.com/guide/avalon-super-loop-patapsco-state-park)

"This loop covers the majority of the Avalon area, with multiple ruins, waterfalls and other artifacts to find along the way.

Starting at the parking lot, you hike up the road a ways to the Ridge trail sign.

The next leg is the maintenace loop which has an old old tractor to look at and some other artifacts. (Woo! Lookit that!)

After that we head into a good wildlife viewing area where deer is commonly spotted. (There's The Deer!)

Next is a popular offroad biking spot with some water aquaducts to view that are rather dated. (Those water aquaducts are SO passe.)

Returning, and going through a nice open field brings us to some rock formations, then settler homes --two of them--one with a dated gas pump 1930-140's era. (What a nice open field this is!)

Before going through some small switchbacks on the next leg, we see two old possible outhouses that are probably state park buildings --old ones. (Nothin' like an old shithouse to rev up nostalgia.)

Then we continue through the switchbacks, taking us along the Cascade falls area to view some of the best falls in the state! The falls are in a valley area and very secluded. A side hike loop is added for length, and adds some more ruins for some old piping fixtures and a barrel. (Oh, thank god.)

Going over the swinging bridge we find the ruins of the "superlative" company along the railroad tracks. More artifacts along the side of the road, as we head back. (Who would've guessed The World's Best Company would go under?)

Plenty of railroad bridges, tunnels, and aquaducts dot the trip back, and 1 more set of building ruins make for a ruins filled trip. (Wow, honey, I really got my fill of ruins on this trip.)"
