a cold walk at cedar beach

Todays' plan was to do the Allentown Volkssport walk-Cedar Beach and Trexler Parks. This was the trail Bonnie and I tested in fall.

It was cold, it snowed. We didn't do the full 10K. We were wusses and did only 5K. You can only walk so far into the wind before your face falls off.

We checked in at the Comfort Suites and headed toward the pool to park. We took off east and went around Lake Muhlenberg completing one side of a figure 8.

We headed out the road, crossed Ott street and headed toward the Rose Garden.

We went past the Rose Garden and the trail leads up to Cedar Crest College, around the quad, and comes back down to the park. In this section of the park is one of those Fitness Trails that are in many parks. Lydia discovered that they we equipped on one side for wheelchair use. Who knew Allentown was so progressive? They are actually really nice. They must be new. Most parks have rotting wood or warped plastic.

We were almost at Trexler Park and I couldn't stand the wind anymore. Bonnie checked her watch and we had gone 1.88 miles. Good enough for me. We could visit General Trexler another day. He isn't going anywhere.

We headed back. The improvement in the weather was 100%. The wind was now at our backs. It was almost pleasant. We wandered thru the Rose Garden, did a couple sets of stairs, and worked out way back to the Pool.

On the way back we found this cool tree.
