Tomahawk Creek after the BIG rain
Two nights ago there were areas around Kansas City that received close to 10″ of rain. Today, at the Tomahawk Creek trail, I saw where the creek had risen an unbelievable amount. The trail was closed yesterday, I could see why!
On another note, I enjoyed the first two miles walking with a 55 year-old retired Army Colonel. SHE is very interested in walking the Camino with her 80 year old mother. It’s always fun to get the chance to talk Camino.
Notice the debris along the fence that was left from the creek’s rising waters yesterday. And notice how far down the creek has receded in just 24 hours.
Camino Prep Update
Well, I finished week six at 25.37 trail miles. So far, 111.91 trail miles.
And now on to Week Seven: the 5.5 mile week.
Today, 6/30, 5.64 miles on Tomahawk Creek. Pretty much on schedule, but haven’t been walking as many days in a week as I had anticipated. But it’s getting easier. Today was overcast and temps were only in the 80s – that helped immensely!
