Caryl needs to be renamed "this is not the street you are looking for"
It really drives home how railroad routes are chosen to be level, when you realize there's a mountain northeast of the park that's completely bypassed by taking the Old Put.
Returning late from a long ride decided to try getting over to the new Broadway lane instead of dealing with the dirt portion in the dark. Ended up having to walk all of the connection up and down the hills on Caryl, then finally rode the broadway lane.
The Broadway lane mostly works, but at least if I can find a single-use insect repellant packet to cary, in the future I'd probably choose even walking all of the putnam trail on through the park on foot over the detour to Broadway. And as the trip north in the morning showed, it was a fairly dry and rideable day on the Old Put at that.
