KEBO MOUNTAIN TRAIL

Years ago there was a section of the Kebo Mountain trail located in the woods between the base of Kebo Mountain and the Golf Course.  I have hiked along that section of trail many times over the years, it was not a very long section, which began in the woods directly across from where the kebo Mountain Trail begins today.  Across the roadway is a set of stone steps with a new trail head sign.  At the base of those stone steps is a new trail the Park Service built a few years back.  The new trail runs to the left and to the right of those stone steps.  The abandoned section of the Kebo Trail also ran from those steps, heading downward to the brook, where it crosses the brook and continues to where it meets up with the Stratheden path by the Building of the arts.  The Stratheden path continued across the Kebo Golf Course to the area of the Building of the Arts.
Sadly, this is the first case I know of where the Park Service has taken action to completely erase a section of an abandoned trail.  The thinking behind taking such action must of been when they built the new trail through there, they clearly must of known with the old abandoned section of the Kebo trail being so visible, they had to do something to stop hikers from venturing down the abandoned section of trail and walking out onto the Golf course, how to deal with the problem - erase any trace of that section of the abandoned Kebo Mountain Trail.    This may of not been their thinking, but it is the only one that makes sense.
Like I said, I knew  where the now lost section of the Kebo Trail was because I had hiked it many times down to the golf course.
What came as a total surprise to me was that a section of the abandoned Stratheden path, the section between the official trail today and the abandoned Kebo Mountain trail, began directly across the road  from the start of the Stratheden path and ran across the golf course in almost a straight line to where the large stone is located  iengraved Stratheden path.
