3rd walk of christmas

Today, I walked quite late. I had to meet José at 4 at NCC south side and decided to kill two birds with one stone.  It's only about a mile and a half away.

I left the house about 3:15 and headed up the hill, and then up 8th street in Lehigh. As I was going thru Lehigh I noticed a staircase that I hadn't walked before. I took it. Of course.

Problem was it didn't take me where I thought it would. I wasn't lost, but I was clueless where I was at. I followed the road to the barrier. ANd then another barrier. then houses.  It took me almost to Hayes street. Not quite where I needed to be, so I backtracked, and found another set of stairs. They brought me out on Hillside Drive. Much better.

I arrived exactly at 4 and José was waiting. He had the hatch to the truck open, and all his pen repair supplies out. He fix Bonnie's pen in about 3 minutes.

We chatted until it started to get dark. Not wanting to be on Broadway after it got dark, I hightailed it out of there. Thank goodness for the nearly full moon. It was pretty dark when I reached the five points. But I stuck to the main roads. No alley's when walking in the dark.
