For the first time in months, Bonnie came along. She has started to walk in the evenings with her grandson, and built herself back up to 2 miles. Could she do a 5K? We were going to try.
Google gave us directions from the turnpike, and the road was closed. Bonnie pulled out her phone and used the GPS. We made it in the nick of time. Parking was awful.
The entrace to the trail starts with a covered bridge. Really. It's pictured above. The 5k went thru the woods, and then looped thru a development, and then came back. The 10K continued on the trail, and I believe made a loop thru town.
Bonnie did fine. Though she wasn't at her normal front of pack posistion. But that's okay.
I decided on the walk that I was going to do other LBW walks that I've never gone to. That includes Hatboro, Landsdale, 4/5 Philly walks, 1/2 Valley FOrge walks and the two AT walks starting at the water gap. I actually might do one of them next weekend. I can't send the girls back to Pakistan/India without hiking a bit of the AT. Right?
We ate at the start point, Mal's Diner. We had breakfast at 11:30 am. It's now 6:35 pm and I'm still full.
Driving home we came back Rt. 73 and 29. As we arrived in the Upper Perkiomen valley, I noticed they had all new wayfinding signage. One pointed to the Goschenhoppen Folk Museum. I never heard of it, but I wanted to go. But we didn't. Good thing we didn't. It's only open the 2nd and 4th Sunday's of each month. Oh well. Will certainly go back. The website tells me that it is my cup of tea. I even liked their FB page. Maybe and event would get me down there again.
52-hike challenge: 14/52
Miles/Steps: 5k
Bathrooms: I-3.5. In the diner. It was tiny.
Money: 6 cents

Extra: Bonnie pick up barkfor a pre-school project. She didn't take a bag. I carried and was covered with dirt when I returned.
