About 3 miles. Our hike was a bit short because a trail bridge was out. We left the trail and followed a deer path for a while. It was a beautiful day, so just wandered through the tall grasses for in the glorious weather. Thanks, Sheryl Proehl Vasquez for introducing me to this trail. Next time we’ll enter the mountain bike path from the south and see how that looks!
November 7: Turkey Creek
5 miles with Dana Ballentine. Finally moved my feet a bit! Weather is lovely. Then coffee at a coffee bistro within a nursery. The cabbages caught my eye. The ginkgo trees are still hanging on to their leaves.
June 2021: This week’s walk along Tomahawk Creek Trail
Summer is here and the greens are luscious! Same ol’ path most days, but always something new and fascinating. Highlights for this week:
Camino Countdown: 3 months 1 week 1 day
It looks like September will be a busy month on the Camino. The fact this is a Holy Year and that people have been anxiously awaiting entry into Spain will make for quite a rush. The U.S. will be allowed into Spain as of June, 7.
Training has been slow lately; motivation is lagging, we’ve had many rain days + I visited family in Joplin for a couple of days. I’ve only walked 26.4 miles since May 7.
On another note, this evening is Day One of the Spanish Immersion class at JCCC. More to come on that. I’m a little nervous.
Camino Countdown: 3 months, 3 weeks, 4 days
