an end to the trail

It's taken some five or six years to make the circuit, but we've traversed as much of the Rivanna Trail as we can find, and travelled all the way around the city of Charlottesville. There are sections where the trail follows local streets due to access problems. And there are gaps in the trail, the most obvious being the final section we followed along Moore's Creek from Quarry Park to the confluence with the Rivanna River. There quite simply is no way to cross Moore's Creek except on the railroad trestle - an act of tresspass - or wade through water that is heavily tainted by the outfall from a sewage treatment plant. It also appears that once across Moore's Creek there is a short section with no trail markers along the Rivanna River through Woolen Mills to the section we began with at Riverview Park a number of years ago. A great concept nicely executed still in progress.
