Trailhead is indicated by a sign. I appreciate this as there has been a time or two when I’ve pulled into a crowded parking lot, looked around for trailhead and couldn’t find it. I get the disturbing image that some of the vacationers and tourists — you know, the rubes — who are also parked in the lot are watching me thinking, “Bozo can’t even find the trail. Good luck not getting lost in the woods.”
Who’s the rube?
