LEFT onto Tunis Road. Typical unpaved mountain road--hardpacked and without gravel.
LEFT onto Railroad Run Trail. Heading south. Lots of knee-high grasses and ferns to start. Later the trail got more clear with occasional rocks and the pleasant sound of rippling water as Railroad Run flowed beside the trail.
