Taking a detour

2. I try not to be too serious about it

The trail used to be a road when I was younger and that one lane bridge was my favorite swimming hole. I've been riding down and up from there on and off for about 35 years, but usually try to stay off those twisty two lane roads these days. I was going to take a weird, pat-paved, part gravel park road that used to be an old farm road, but it was closed for some work (probably to replace the old wooden bridge down there) and there was only one route out from where I found the road closed.

The road is Thompson Station Road into and through a section of protected land adjoining White Clay Creek State Park in northwestern Delaware. It's near where Mason & Dixon surveyed the western border of Delaware to where it meets the more well-known Mason & Dixon Line forming the southern border of Pennsylvania.

The old inn and tavern structure is at an old crossroads called Corner Ketch.
