When I passed here a while ago, I was focused on riding, and didn't think of watching for signs on the other side of the creek bed.

I also missed signs on the way to my present location for Kingbird Pond, Mustang Pond and Red Creek Road. I must be having a good time!

Oh great—Long Ridge Road rises up a hill right away. Where can I stop and take a break before going any further?

Hey, that oak tree behind the sign is casting a stripe of shade across the road...
