Almost done..

The sun was beating on our backs as we started near Garden City Elementary school and headed down Imlay. Once we stepped on Ventnor we had shade. Today would be our toughest walk due to the hills we had to overcome. The first was Eanes Rd. Got half way up and we saw the City border sign and gladly turned back around. As we headed towards our second big hill I saw the Husky that my dog, Star, always barks at during our rides. He wasnt too friendly today.



The husky which was stalking us.



The end.



Our second big hill was Blanton Ave. We use to run up this one a couple years ago, now we are walking it and its not bad. Got to another border sign and turned back around.

Blanton Ave.

Now we were doing our loops and sideroads of Troxell, Mabry and Hillview. We saw a dog that John named Totto since it looks like the one off of Wizard of Oz. Talked to its mom and she says Totto was 13yrs old. We chatted for a few about our dogs and said our goodbyes. On the way to Mabry we saw another rabbit. Mabry would be the toughest hill of the day as it splits into two roads. Mabry was ok but was wearing us down now. On the way up our last hill, Reynolds Rd., John was fading and said we should not do it. Dont know if he was playing around with that but I encouraged him to move forward. We headed up slowly as cars passed us by. Finally got to the top and touched Bandy Rd and headed back down towards Ventnor.

Coming down Reynolds.

Another rabbit.

By this time it was cloudy and pretty nice with the breeze. Another half hour of walking and we were back at the end of Ventnor where we stopped last week. Now heading back to our car as we made a shortcut thru the Park and up some steps which needed to be cleaned and weeded. Finally got in the car and headed home.
