the bathroom had no doors

Today it was beautiful. It was about 80 degrees, and windy. It was the perfect day for walking. But first the laundry had to be done.

The plan was to go right after I hung out the laundry. I decided to go to the Bethlehem Township Community Center complex off Farmersville Road. Then go for groceries at Giant on the William Penn Hwy. (aka Two Guys, if you are old enough to remember.) But one thing led to another, then a phone call, then my sister in law came over and before I knew it was 12:30.  I didn't leave till 2.

I havent been at BTCC since I trained for the 3-Day, the first time. The group I trained with only walked there. Even on 15 mile days. They walked the loop 15 times. No thank you. It's a nice route, but really sunny, even on a cool day.

 This sign greeted me at the beginning on the trail, I think it's new. I saw a group of 6 scooters (they were hellions), 1 bike and a dog. Clearly the sign is useless.

 Then I came to this stand of weeds ... I mean wildflowers. It was by the retention pond.

I noticed almost immediately that the fitness trail was upgraded. When I was here last it was splitting pressure treated wood. Now it's plastic and metal. Each station has 6-8 activities with different difficulty levels. I read some on the first trip around, and even tried a couple. I think I can do 70% of them at level 1. Maybe a few at level 2. Maybe Bonnie or Angel want to go out with me and give it a shot. Sadly they went with ouchy wood mulch instead of of the recycle tire stuff.

Since this is a metal course, there will be no doing it on hot sunny days. It is clearly a autumn/spring activity.

About halfway around there is a house that is over grown by weeds.

The first loop was all about checking out what was new and changed. At the end of the loop is the community center, playground, and parking lots. At the playground is swings, so you can take a swing break between loops. At least if there are no little ones playing. And they are high!

After the final loop I was headed to the lot when I thought, I should check out the bathroom. If for nothing else to add a "bathroom scale" to the blog post. I walked in and there were no doors on the stalls.  Now I grew up in a house that often had a dozen people and one bathroom. I'm used to people walking in on me. But they were family. Not so excited to pee in public.

Even though it was clean (because nobody uses it?) I give this bathroom and I-1.5. Only to be used in times of gastric distress. And even then I'd calculate the risk of making it to the community center.
