north bethlehem volkssport walk

Today I headed out early to do the North Bethlehem Volkssport walk. I wanted to beat the Sunday buffet crowd at the Hotel B. Thankfully they were still setting up.

I signed in and headed to the historic district. That's when I remembered that the pedestrian bridge was out. That's a problem. I'm in charge of directions. Thankfully only one person did the walk during Musikfest, and I'm sure there were detours all over the place. He didn't mark anything on his card.

It looks like I'll need to have them explore the historic quarter, and then go back to Ohio Rd, cross the stone bridge (which was also hit during Musikfest...but thankfully it's open), turn left and go thru Festplatz to pick up the directions.

More importantly, while I was walking I was looking for ways to change the route to freshen it up. I have some ideas. We'll need to test them.

On Sand Island, I checked out the progress of the stairs on the bridge. The wire frames have been encased in concrete. They look far from the bridge. I think the tiny landing will be gone. Hopefully the new stairs will be better than the old ones. I did not see the giant turtle on the canal path. Probably still hiding from MF.

It was a nice day, not excessively hot, but the humidity was building.
