Normally I don't repeat walks this quickly, however, today was the volkssport walk on the Saucon Rail Trail. I did not expect many people. Most of the club lives in suburban Philly. But the sisters like in Perkasie and another couple in Souderton, so I had hope.
I arrived at 8:30. At 8:58 the first -- and only -- person arrived. It was Bill who walked with us on the D&L last year. We waited till about 9:05 and then headed out. Bill's email was recently hacked so it gave us some conversation points. And I talked about prepping school. We also talked about the club picnic and bike routes he had done.
We were almost back when Bill mentioned that the email volunteer would want a synopsis of what happened. We created a minimum of three tall tales. I sent them to her. I wonder which she'll pick?
The tall tales:
We heard this odd bird-like sound and looked up and it was a bald eagle. It must have saw something yummy in the creek.
At the golf course we watch someone hit a hole-in-one and watched them celebrate this victory. Then they were so happy then knocked over their golf cart. No golfers were injured.
And my favorite (it started out as a bank robbery) ...
The last one involves a robbery. There's a lot of fancy expensive houses on the trail. The security system was blaring. The sirens from the police cars were in the background. The robber was fleeing the scene running down the trail coming right at us. Bill tried to block him but the robber ran him over. I helped Bill up but we didn't see where the robber went. Probably a get-away car was waiting at the cross street.
May all your walking tales be exciting and may they all be tall ones.
