Correct. Does anyone know the story on this? How long it’s been closed, and if there are any plans to ever reopen it?

I am not sure if this is a factor, but there is a homeless center nearby, and they may wander around the Fairfax Circle area. Most the people I see there are good people, but they get the occasional bad apple. I have not had problems though in the trails nearby.

I actually have ridden to that point a couple of times, and I never can find where the trail picks up after that. What’s the secret?

Somebody has to recognize this.

Custis trail? I always wondered who sits in that chair.

I always imagined that it had been placed there one night by a group of drunken college kids who wandered off the path onto someone’s back patio and decided to get up to some mischief.

I always imagined it would look nice on my patio.

You have to cross Pickett Road and then cut left across the parking lot toward the trees. You’ll see the trail going off to your right at the corner of the lot by the left-field foul pole of the ballfield.
Another way to think about it is to imagine where you would end up if you went straight line through the tunnel. Just follow that line, and you’ll end up back on the trail.

It’s Bull Run Post Office Road — long name for a little road, and I never did find the post office

Well, did you find a bull at least?

Others may recognize this quite quickly. Amazingly, it was my first time here in my years of riding.

Is that the 395 overpass connecting Shirlington to the base of Quaker/Martha Custis?

Whoooohoooooo! I have also only been across it once (to ride up to Spokes), but recal the interesting fence, that goes up into an almost tunnel.
