Today I planned on walking the D&L from Bethlehem to Freemansburg. I pulled into Sand Island and saw a group of girls in bright orange tees. I thought it was a walking group. It wasn't. They were volunteers for the VIA Marathon. Shit. I can't walk her today. I don't want to be mowed over by marathoners.
Where to go? I decided on the Monocacy Trail. I parked at the corner of Monocacy and Union and walked to the trail. As I went down the trail I realized that the Apple Festival was at Burnside. Shit. Another false start? I fully expected to be turned away. But I wasn't. I just walked right in. Apparently admission is charged by the CARfull. I wasn't in a car.
I even could have done the house tour.—something I've always wanted to do—but the next group wouldn't leave for another half hour. I didn't want to wait. I wouldn't want to walk back.
I looked at the crafts, and the exhibits, and thru the gardens. Then got back on the trail and headed back to the car.
