I know this has been discussed often here.

I was looking at the map again today:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mo...!4d-78.8255621

Just wondering if there is a decent way to connect the two ends of Louis Stephens without completely having to bushwhack? I tried it last year, and ended up taking about 30 minutes to go under the bridge, over the fence, up through the weeds and over the hill. Not good.

When I look at the current picture on Google Maps (above), it 'appears' there is now a beaten trial that one could easily walk. Can anyone confirm or deny?

I wouldn't be surprised; my friend lives off Louis Stephens and he and his friends take their bikes up to the bike ramps all the time and that's how it looks like they would go.

Don't know but I learned this about Saint Alban the other day (Saint Albans Drive over near North Hills....)

"When Alban reached the summit of the hill, he began to thirst and prayed God would give him water. A spring immediately sprang up at his feet. It was there that his head was struck off, as well as that of the first Roman soldier who was miraculously converted and refused to execute him. However, immediately after delivering the fatal stroke, the eyes of the second executioner popped out of his head and dropped to the ground along with Alban's head so that this second executioner could not rejoice over Alban's death. In later legends, Alban's head rolled downhill after his execution, and a well sprang up where it stopped. Upon hearing of the miracles, the astonished judge ordered further persecutions to cease, and he began to honour the saint's death."

Stephens served as Chairman of the Research Triangle Foundation, and I think he played an important role in expanding RTP southward into Wake County.

They're connecting the road starting next year so it will be easy enough soon. Might be an issue during construction though.

Good info, thanks. C-D won't let me Rep you again. That's an annoying limitation. A good post is a good post, and should be recognized as such.

Are they really going to connect up Louis Stephens to Louis Stephens under 540? That would be great!
