minus-squaremaltimore@feddit.orgOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up93·1 year agoGood point actually, that makes a lot of sense.

minus-squarericecake@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up30·1 year agoOh, that’s a good notion. My thought had been that it’s a place where people often stop so it formed a bypass of sorts.
minus-squareglimse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoHmmm maybe, but the left is on a slope. The real path is lower, why wouldn’t the rain pool there? Here’s a baseless guess: someone dumped something big on the trail there for awhile and a path formed from the detour and never went away
minus-squareowenfromcanada@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up51·1 year agoThe real path is the one that floods. When it’s wet, people use the desire path to avoid the puddle.
minus-squareglimse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up13·1 year agoOhhh!! Duh, I totally misinterpreted that haha. I am fully on board with your theory now
minus-squared00ery@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoIt’s hard to tell from a picture, but to me, the road looks higher and everything slopes down to the right.
minus-squareglimse@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoIt is, but I misunderstood what the the person I replied to was saying (even though it was very obvious lol)
minus-squareKing_Bob_IV@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoIt’s still possible that the main trail is lower in the middle than on its right edge witch would still cause a lot of mud with a good rain
