The
Hill Trail

The Hill Trail is a bad spot to get ambushed on. Running parallel to the creek it climbs up to a height that can see (or be seen from ) across the creek and into the Reeds. Before the Bridge was constructed we staged from the back porch of Mike's house. The Hill Trail was usually the way we entered the field to start the first game we would send one team down the trail to defend the Old Fort, give them about 10 minutes to set up a defense, then the attacking team would head down the trail to dig them out. Because the banks of the creek next to the Hill Trail are too tall to climb up or down is leads you right into the Pinch Point which is always a factor.
   
   
   
   

The Hill Trail has been upgraded over the history the the backyard. Mike has made it wider, flatter and moved it away from the creek's steep banks.
