A further hundred yards along the trail is the area I call 'The Valley'.
I name it that as this place seems to be the lowest point in the loop.
Hereafter you begin a gentle rise to the next section, a ridge which
parallels Clayton Road.
The
view to the Southwest includes a farmhouse and barn, plus Prairie-like
views to the North.
Upon
reaching this point, you've traveled a total of 1.2 miles.
