wandering

This morning Angel and I planned an outing with the teen and my nephew Bubba for tomorrow. We decided on Hugh Moore Park. There's a cool playground now and all kinds of improvements.

Today's plan was to do a bunch of errands and walk. Somewhere. I had to go to Easton to take envelopes for the AVA box. I thought I might go to canal park and walk the canal. Somehow I ended up at Hugh Moore Park. I guess my subconscious was in control.

 I tried to stay away from areas we talked about going with the kids. I parked in the new lot over the bridge (with the cleanest port-o-potty ever) and headed to what was an old lot. The sculpture from Bushkill Drive's iron works is there now.

There is also now a bike park, I think, there. Maybe it's for dogs but there is a bike pump and repair tools so I don't think so. I walked the course. Some of the little bumps were steep. One I had to get a running start.

 I took the trail out to the D&L and walked back toward the canal boat. Then I took the path thru the new playground -- it has a zip line! -- and started taking the road back to the lot and noticed there is now a path running adjancent to the road. It is about time. And their are also barriers so that you can't park along the road, which should no longer be needed with all the new parking.
