I am Bombadil
Here it is -- a map of the domain of the University of the South. If you click it, or open it in a new tab, you'll get a much larger view.
I live on the circle right above where it says "Clara's Point Road." I can jump on the yellow fire road either by cutting through my back yard or by walking up the street 40 yards. From there I can go anywhere. The yellow bits are fire roads, the red bits are perimeter trail, the green and dashed black lines are other trails which appear mostly to have at one time been roads. There are other roads and trails not marked.
A typical walk for me is to leave home, jump on the fire road marked as "parallel trail" (as it runs parallel to Breakfield Road, a decent gravel road beyond the equestrian center), walk all the way to the end, just past Brushy Lake, make a right and go up to Dotson point, take the P-trail back to Breakfield at Solomon's Temple trail, and come back on Breakfield. That takes about two hours. Last weekend, I took parallel almost to Brushy, made a left at the G10 cross road, took p-trail along Armfield bluff to the dashed black road that runs past Brushy's little arm, right on Breakfield, p-trail from Solomon intersection to the forestry cabin, fire road past cedar hollow lake, right on perpendicular road to equestrian center, then home on Wiggins Creek Drive. That took three hours.
Three hours of bliss.

this is bliss
you are very lucky to be that close to God-even if he has cleverly disguised himself as the P Trail
