Table Rock. It's fun to go off into a new place and wander around without knowing exactly where you are, especially when it's so close to home. Started out with all easy big trails, but wound up with some fairly technical singletrack. More exploring to be done in here.

I found one of the exits, no surprise that I didn't spot it from the road, because there's a stone wall you have to go over. For future reference, it's right across the street from the house with the solarium. Finding it from the woods side wasn't that easy, either, because there were trail signs parallel to a serious fence on the right, then the trail got all manky but there was a shift to the left on a better parallel trail. But that took me to what looked like a back yard. The phone showed that I was in about the right spot, but as I skootched along the edge of the lawn, a couple of dogs came out, then a guy came out of the door of the house. I asked him if there was a paved road ahead, and he said yeah, look to your right, there's the trail. I gave him a thumbs up and said thanks, and went onto the very rough "pathway" that looks like it's probably going to get grown in pretty quickly. All the online resources that I see indicate that I was on public property the whole time, and that what looks like lawn associated with the house extends beyond the property line. (But to get out to the road without shifting to the rough trail would have required going out the guy's driveway.)
