doylestown volkssport walk


Today Bonnie and I did the Doylestown Volkssport walk. We arrived at the Bucks County Y about 15 minutes late. Google maps failed me. It said to take 202 and then get off State Street. But the highways have been refigured and State Street has it's own exit. If we would have taken State Street, we would have been 5 minutes early!

We checked in and headed out on the 10K. There are several areas on this route that just go around a block—right, right, right or left, left, left—we skipped those and took about 1K off the route. Those ring-a-round the blocks were for several special programs.

(For the special programs you need to pass Masonic Lodges, flags, movie theatres, whatever Some Volkssporters love them. We've never really gotten into them. We do three—Pa. counties, 50 states, and cities A-Z. None have a end date. We recently also picked up Border Crossings for when a walk goes from one state to the next. There's one in Philly/Trenton, there's also one in Kentucky on the new pedestrian bridge. We're doing the Pa./NY one next weekend. We have 10 years to do 15. We just might make it.)

Bonnie has never been to most of the places we passed today—the Michner Museum, Fonthill or the Tileworks. One day we will need to go back and tour them.

Tomorrow Lydia and I are doing the Canal Path from Allentown toward Bethlehem.
