text: Ok, today I hiked both the upper O&W trail here and the lower trail. What I found was that the place on the upper (east) side that looked like it might be or have been a linking trail looked more like a dried stream bed. The opening near the upper trail looks like it was once a man made slope, but it was eroded away, overgrown, and covered in fallen trees. At the bottom of the hillside, it was flooded.
  
  On the lower west side, I saw no opening east toward the upper trail. Instead, it was inaccessible wetlands, very flooded from our recent rain in particular. Furthermore, the signs prohibiting trail going east into the lead contaminated woods start very close to McDonald Rd, and continue all the way to large open area covered in gravel that used to be part of the lead mine. With no sign of a trail, and considering the prohibition on hiking there, I am confident that I was right the first time that there is no longer any trail here.
  
  The trail that would have been here was, according to the official map I shared earlier, never marked, so if it is not in anyway maintained and the area is too contaminated to hike, then we can safely say it no longer exists as a trail. I will edit the area accordingly.
