Metal Bridge -- 

views: stream & boulders

Far side moss on hillside

Km Marker-----

0 1.04

Rationale: Here is an attempt to provide a consistent naming to spots along the trail so that others can easily find what is referred to, Eventually (when mobile PCs become common), a walker can simply query the database from any location, then the GPS will identify what has interested scientists, teachers or just 'folks' about that spot. Distance in kilometers from start and finish point are presently more consistent than GPS readings
