Geocache Description:

Walker Preserve Trail is a public trail suited for bicycling, hiking, walking, baby strollers, and more. Perfectly graded with a hard-packed sandy surface that commences on North Magnolia Avenue in Santee, California and connects to the Lakeside River Trail system. Parking available at either end of Walker Preserve Trail. Look for a tiny slide-top metal tin of no value to anybody but a Geocacher.

Santee offers this new segment of an eventual San Diego County mountain-to-sea trail system. Several informational and historic displays are provided along the way as well as shaded picnic tables with benches to sit and rest upon. The trail surface is wide, flat, and uniform all the way over to the Lakeside River Trail System. The trail passes alongside a large pond; however, a peeler-log fence limits access to pond and riverbed attractions.

Note the extensive use of peeler log fencing all along the trail. Each and every fence rail is a core of a tree trunk that remained once the bulk of the tree trunk was peeled away like a jelly roll to provide the sheets of ply that make up plywood. Try estimating the number of fence sections that make up these two trailside fences and then consider that each and every one of the fence sections was once a tree.
