Walk

Another short walk to begin with but really short since we had to take Sarah to the bus station within the hour. So we only walked a total of 2 miles the first day then the last mile the second day. Yes we finished up yesterday. John got a promotion at his job and will be working night shifts...so I may walk walk by myself sometimes or not..depends. And this of course this will add another year or so on the schedule of completion.

Log

Walked near Liberty Rd today as we will save the long walk up in NE for Friday. Not much going on today, just chit chatting about jobs which John may accept a promotion and working on 2nd shift which will affect our walking schedules. So we will see...

Montery

Walked around Montery Golf Club today. Didnt realize that all the streets we just walked were pro golfer names like Trevino Cir, Palmer Dr, etc. The Golf club use to be Mountain View Country Club which the sign still stands as noted below.

Nice

Going to finish up the NE area hopefully in the next 2 weeks. Started again on Old Mountain Rd and walked that plus Read Mountain Rd. At the end of Read Mtn Rd there was a trail. I wonder where that lead to? I may hike that one day soon. Read Mtn was the border of the County and City as we saw trash cans on one side that said County and the other side was the City. On the way back to the car we saw the storm clouds coming in. We ran for about a .5 mile and as soon as we got back it poured. Lucky us.

Old Mountain Road

Nice view from Read Mountain Rd.

Short walk around 2 miles today. Eve and Shane joined us. Shane even walked Eve for a bit. Dillard Rd was a long steeeep walk. And there was a road that was on my list, but it wasnt to be found. Just a closed gate w/ tons of overgrown grass and rubble.

Coming back down

Saw my brother in law while I was waiting on John and Shane. Chatted for a bit. The weather started out really cool in this area (Old Mountain Rd) like it was going to rain but man it got hot! Walked towards the Read Mtn area and entered a really nice neighborhood. Saw some for sale signs and the homes were pretty cheap. Nothing major going on in this walk but we did see some firetrucks around one house but nothing came of it.

Looking towards Read Mtn.
