a railroad bridge in the Yakima area. Trail crosses to north side of

railroad grade for the next three miles, with several departures to
skirt private land. There are several blind corners on this stretch
which bicylists should approach carefully.

spot.

Bridge was originally a pedestrian ramp at the Kingston ferry dock.

mile marker.
4.9 Strait View Drive at bottom of Morse

half-mile detour around the Rayonier Mill site, pending disposal and
cleanup of this
property.
