I've carefully walked the connectors, old and new maps in hand, looking for the trail entrances and can't find anything.

Is a secret password required for the leaves and brush to part? Shocked

Been riding 909 for years....

Westbound from the Tyrrel lot on the Snowmobile trail, its the first left. If you make the first left off that, 40' down you'll enter Mercury. Mercury returns to Mustang before the stream crossing @ the bottom of the hill. Mustang continues towards the TSP lot, with the connectors veering off. Mustang has Red/Orange discs not to be confused with the slightly larger Red/Orange Snowmobile discs.

Mustang was built first, but the junked car that inspired the naming of both was this Capri (thanx Jim A) hauled away 10 years ago.

Thank you for your interesting and informative reply, Pedaler845.

I'm still a bit confused, though, and have annotated a 909 map.

I guess you have to allow some margin of error for free maps, sorry about that.

Hey, no complaints made or implied.

Just want to be sure I'm not missing out on fun AND avoid confusion at the same time.

Thanks again for clearing things up.

Maybe this helps from my last Strava GPS. GPS trail is in red. The blue trails I drew in show Mustang connectors I guess you'd call them. From the TSP lot make your first right onto Mustang (orange arrow) or second right onto Mustang (black arrow). Both will take you to stream crossing where if you make a right that puts you on Mercury.

Thank you Jim, for further clarification.

Plus your Strava inspired me to hit Timbuk2. Smile
