Hike Country Lane Woods from Little Red Schoolhouse, 3.5 miles or more

This is a group favorite, starting and ending at a very nice indoor nature center (with restrooms!). Please note that we're starting from the Little Red Schoolhouse parking lot, NOT the Country Lane Woods parking lot. We'll take the yellow trail east and north up around the loop, with those who wish cutting off back to the Country Lane Woods parking lot and down the tan trail for around 3.5 miles. I may do that and then add on one or more of the short hikes around the Nature Center that we rarely do. Those who want a longer hike can continue up and around one or more larger loops to add on a couple more miles (we'll probably split into smaller groups). This is a very nice, wide, mostly flat crushed limestone trail.
