we wore the same shirt

My friend Pam and I took our weekly socially distant walk today on the D&L.

We planned to go to Hanover Canal Park and walk toward catty, but the park was closed. Instead, we went down the road to Kimmets Lock.

I get out of my car, and Pam her's and I look. Then I look again. We were wearing the same shirt. Clearly we both shop at Target. But more interesting is the fact that these shirts are old. Maybe five years and we both still have them.

I had never walked from Kimmet's Lock before but I guessed it would be rustic because I could never see a path. Pam saw a sign for the D&L and we followed it.

We started to head out and I went back for my hiking stick, I was glad I did. The first section was "natural". I think the trail is more or less kept up by bike use. Eventually, we had to walk on Dauphin Street, and then back on the trail.

These bleeding hearts were at the entrance to the trail. We followed past another lock, 56 I believe, and then took the path to walk around the pond. No geese and the water level was very, very low. We speculated that they were draining it for some reason.

We picked up the D&L on the other side of the pond and followed it to Race Street. We did not continue across and to Catty. We found the robins egg at the entrance to the trail.

Coming back we stayed on the trail and walked thru the park, back out on the road, and back into the woods.
