Rather than taking the Bicentennial National Trail (our local part of a horse trail that extends several thousand kilometers) I went up the steep hill. Hmmmm.... bad move! Several barbed-sire fences later and I was still circling in on the GPS position. Finally, another fence and I was in the field. As close as I could tell, it was near an old, concrete fence post. So, I took a picture or two, and traced uphill along the line of the two existing posts and saw no more sign of the old fence. Pics as I reached the northern side of the hill.
