  The western section of the trail  
A foggy morning  
The traveller  
Sights in the mist
Sun has burned the fog off  
A town on the way - Ridgeway, elevation 360 metres .
  The old train station  
   
  Grass invading the trail.  
Then more farmland with the highway in the background.  
  Mount Horeb in a fruitless search of a Swedish bakery.  
  The closer we came to Madison and civilization the heavier the bike traffic became. At times it seemed too heavy for a dirt trail. Pavement please!  
  Ahhhhhh. Smell the flowers.  
  A big tree  
  Time for a granny break or two or three  
  A tandem recumbent. What next? A tandem recumbent taxi service?  
  Verona and some trailside development. Note no barriers between the townhouses and the trail.
