Hamburg Trail: May 6, 2012

This cemetery is on the northeast side of 94. It contains the graves of more familiar TNT names:  Mades, Muschany, Yahn. The Buenger family actually has a stone on which its family tree is inscribed. Visited first on Friday under storm clouds, then revisited Sunday morning before a two hour hike that started at the Hamburg Trailhead directly across 94 from the cemetery.

After visiting the cemetery, cross 94 to the Trailhead, descend a small hill onto the shady flat gravel Hamburg Trail.  Make a left.  Read the plaques about the town of Hamburg, then cross under Highway 94 through the tunnel below.


Hike about 15 minutes and come close to the junction of the Hamburg and Katy Trails.  Today, I chose to cross 94 again to the Lost Valley Trailhead. Hiked a total of 2 hours in 85 degree weather--saw a huge black snake sunning himself on the path. A breeze kept bugs at bay.
