Hike-a-thon Week Two is too too terrific!

 

On August 8th I did 2 miles on the Longfellow Creek Trail in West Seattle. They are renovating the Salmon Bone Bridge, so I had to detour around a bit, but it is still a lovely trail. Some parts are road walk, but I enjoy seeing people's houses and I got to visit a few Little Free Libraries along the way.

I did 4 miles across downtown Burlington, VT following the Burlington Greenway/Island Line Trail

You know it snows a lot when they have these flaggy things on the fire hydrants, so that they can find them in the snow!! 

Thanks so much to Kathy, Angele and Cecilia for their recent donations!!

Hike-a-thon 2024 off to a wonderful start!

 My first hike for Hike-a-thon 2024 is a favorite that you have seen me do for several years now. I was busy here in town and couldn't get away, so I did 2 miles on the Cedar River Trail through Renton, WA. I even got to see the Blue Angels doing some practice for their shows this weekend!! 

August 3rd I was down in Ashland, OR for the Shakespeare Festival, but I was able to do 2 miles on the Woodland and Pioneer Trails in Lithia Park. 

On August 4th I did one mile on the Emigrant Lake Trail near Ashland, OR 

And August 6th I did one mile on the Des Moines Creek Trail here in Seattle. It is under the flight path for SeaTac Airport and I enjoy seeing all the airplanes as they take off. 

I forgot to bring a container for blackberries. But luckily I had a Dutch Brothers cup in the car!!

Postcards from Friends and Family: The South

So many of my friends and family either live in or vacation in the South

And I know a bunch of folks are not happy that I am not doing my reading list anymore. For a twist, if you would like, send me your name and address and I will send you a book that I read in 2024 that I enjoyed. You can specify a genre if you wish.
