    Clues for Your Hike

    2. You will pass a fence on your right and then a Seeds of Hope Garden on your left.
    3. The path then becomes straight as you walk by several soccer fields on your left.
    4. The path will bend to the left and then to the right.
    5. Here, just before you see a marshy water area on either side of the path, you will find the post on the grass to your left.
    6. Continue ahead on the path as it loops around to the left with farmland on either side.
    7. Stay to the left at the fork, walking toward the church and parking area.
    8. As you come to the end of the path, turn left and walk on the grass, and then turn right on the grass so you are walking along the perimeter of the parking area. Be careful, staying off the parking area and away from cars.
