another section of the d&l complete

Yesterday Pam and I walked from North Catty to Northampton on the D&L. This section is a little rustic, but not nearly as bad as it was before.

I'm hoping now that the Northampton-Coplay Bridge is finished that they will complete this section of the trail.

There is a lot of really cool ruins on this trail. It must have been an important section of the D&L or the railroad. And a lot of graffiti.

There is also a lot of construction debris. Pam used some of it to take a phone call break.

 

I took pictures of the debris. We encountered many more people and dogs on this walk in the Northampton Section called Heritage Park. I haven't been there since Lydia moved back to Bethlehem so the big thing I noticed was it now has a fitness course. Of course, like all other recreation areas, all the equipment is closed because of C19. 

Maybe the large showing was because of the weekend of rain. Everyone needed to get the heck out of the house. We both had masks on to coverup when we saw people. I don't like wearing it, my glasses steam up. We even saw some North Catty public works people working near the trailhead.

We're going to go to the Northampton canal trail next. Not the D&L but along the actual canal. There used to be a canal boat in the canal, and a small bridge. We'll see. Hopefully tomorrow.
