I looked at maps from 1887, 1943 and 1956 for the area and this was a road to a homestead!!  I'm excited to get a pic of the homestead location now that I know about where it is!!

This is a neat "hidden" area of the trail.  The trail looks to go in front of the ledge of rocks, but you can go between a couple of rocks to get back in here.  It's blazed to indicate it's trail, it's just easy to miss.
