Trailing Off

Over the last three years or so, Sam and I have been going to the Canalside Rail Trail for many of our walks. In all this time, we never realized that we've only been walking about half the trail.

On our usual routine, we walk to a point where the path comes to a road. We've always turned here and headed back on another leg (of the trail, that is).

But across this street and over a little bit (and out of view), the trail picks up and there is a much longer portion which apparently goes on for a couple of more miles. This week, we walked a small part it.

The overall length of the trail is just under four miles, but Sam and I only had about two miles worth of walking in us. We ran out of energy before we ran out of trail so we headed back to the car.

The portion we saw was lovely and maybe someday I'll post more pictures of it - but I don't think it will be any time soon. For the next few days, the temperatures are supposed to be in the upper nineties. We'll be laying low and trying, at least, to stay cool.
