This material updates the Bedford Map, Edition of February 2012.

It is needed because the information at Pt 11 (Bridle Path Junction near Harper Ridge PA) in the 2012 map edition was confusing; i.e.- poorly written. In short, the trail does not cross Hawthorn Pkwy here. Only cross the parkway if you wish to take advantage of the facilities in the picnic area. To correct your text in your February 2012 edition, replace the first sentence under Pt 11 with the material below.

CW 38.6 N | CCW 15.0 S | Point 11 | Harper Ridge PA

You are here: 41.41457 N, 81.45926 W. The drive into Harper Ridge PA (no W) is just across Hawthorn Parkway. If you prefer, a more rustic approach into the Parking Area is just ahead at: 41.41469°N, 81.45861°W. From there, a bridle trail heads South across the parkway into the woods. The bridle trail continues South along the East side of the Harper Ridge Parking Area and provides easy access to the Parking Area.
BT continues East across 2 private roads… The updated material ends here. Return to the text under Pt 11 in your present edition.
