At the end, I turned onto Bull Boulevard, which continued another 2 miles.
At one point, I saw a black bear along the trail ahead of me. Rather than get out the camera, I tried to act big and talk loudly to alert him to my presence. Once he saw me, he disappeared into the swamp. I couldn't get a picture of the bear, but did get a shot of some evidence he had been there.
After around 11 miles, I decided to turn around as it was a very long hike back. Fortunately, the rain had stopped for the day and I was drying out on the hike back. I stopped for a break at Western Boundary Trail.
It was about 4 miles back to Canal Road from here and I was definitely counting down the miles by the time I got at this point.
A small herd of deer crossed the trail in front of me. They seemed more curious than scared by my presence.
With just a mile to go, I stopped for a picture of the Lighter Boat Display.
And another break at the Liquor Still Replica.
Finally, I made it back to the floating bridge. The canal was very scenic as I crossed over.
