night walk


I joined the Allentown Hiking club around Easter time. They mostly walk on the AT. It will help me finish my Volkssport AT special program book. Maybe.

Anyway, tonight they hosted a night walk in Quakertown starting at a brew pub. We were to meet in the back by the police station. I pulled in and saw two people. At 6, it was still the three of us. We were about to leave when two more showed up.

The five of us walked to the "solar park".  It's an area that floods a lot and is often marshy, so instead of building on it they made a park. Smart move. They made it solar so there would be no increased costs. Even cooler. But none of the lights were on! So much for solar. Thank goodness the moon was about 7/8 full.

Then we walked around the library to Memorial Park, but it was very dark there, so we continued out to Broad Street and returned that way.

The tree on the traingle is set to be lit Friday night.

Miles/Steps:   About 3 miles. The group leader, Cindy, was tracking it, but I forgot to get the total.
Bathrooms:     None used  
Weather:        Low 40s maybe? It was warm all day.
Wildlife:          geese on the pond.

Extras:           I didn't stay at the brewpub for drinks.
