This path is much more overgrown than it was when I was a kid.  My story, "The Raccoon" took place just to the left of this photo.

Back when I was in high school, they had piled a bunch of old 12-16 inch dia (based on my memory) pipe here.  They have all been removed.  The road goes on a little way to the left and soon peters out.  From here you can follow the path along the "Little Stream".
