Saturday ride pt 1: how to get lost on a paved trail without leaving it

After a bit, specifically after I past The Depot, signs stopped appearing on the trail.  so I really didn't have a good idea where in the or out of the cities I was.  

I knew I had entered Hopkins.

I knew I had crossed several highways and Minnehaha Creek.

I didn't know any better than that though.  Which sort of put me off my lunch.  

And that was bad.  I was starting to feel tired in my legs and my sugars were crashing.  B

ut I didn't want to stop till there was a recognizable landmark.

And then the trail as I knew it vanished.

PANIC

So I rode on the sidewalk to the next intersection and took pictures of all the signs I saw.

Home schools get signs???

This is the intersection.  Negative west 62nd Street and Some Frontage Road.  Bloody hell.

So I haul out a map and start looking for that.  

But the map I am carrying does not show smaller roads, it barely has county roads on it.  But  it did have 62 and it did have 4.

Which is right about where I was.
