lehigh parkway

Yesterday it was pretty dang hot. But it was also laundry day, so I chose to do the laundry at 6 am instead of walking. That way it could go out, dry, and be in the house before noon. It worked. But that left me with picking a time to walk. Again it was HHH. I think were on day four of this round.

Anyway, I chose the Lehigh Parkway. That way I could do the Million Clicks thing and use my little button.  I was getting ready to leave at about 7pm and I was going to call Bonnie to see if she wanted to go along. As I was dialing the phone I realized that she'd say "Are you F-ing nuts?" and hung up the phone.

I parked at the iron bridge. The park was pretty much all in shade. It wasn't horrible walking. For the first half of the walk, I pretty much had the trail to myself. Though a horse must have went thru a little earlier. Lots of poo and it was fresh.

And the park smelled like dead fish.

Rush hour began about 8ish. The trails filled with people who all had the same idea as I had.  At the Robin Hood entrance there were still people picnicking and playing in the creek. People also had there beach chairs out in the creek.

At the end of the trial before the bridge is the click station. I think they did that so you had to walk a little to reach it. I can picture people pulling into the lot, clicking and leaving.

Since I was down that way, I went a little further to check out the repaired wall. They fixed the wall, the wall by the stairs, but not the stairs. Talk about penny wide and dollar foolish. On the street side it's all stone. On this side, once it hits the denser trees it's stamped concrete. It was disappointing, but once the under story grows again, only I'll be able to see it.

It was a good walk. Since the roomie had a doctors appointment at 8, I'll need to do the same thing tonight. Wonder where I'll go?
