The day broke cool and overcast as our intrepid Pilgrim’s embarked on their second group walk, the “group” this time consisted of the author and Ann but it was a good group no matter how many were there.
We started at the Dallas Audubon Center and after jumping the fence, we paid later, walked their trails which were much easier than our previous walk as we were in the Trinity river bottoms. We probably did 2 miles there before we moved to the Great Trinity Forest trail which is managed by the City of Dallas and runs near then new golf course. This trail was paved and while interesting, I enjoyed the Cedar Ridge Audubon site more. Today we did a little more that 8 miles at a 20 minute mile pace.
I really enjoyed walking with Ann, in almost 20 years we’d never had an extended period of time to just talk. We discussed our motivations for walking the Camino, travel plans, the election and generally solved the problems of the world. I really look forward to more time like that.
We missed L&R who had to go out of town and Rick who thought running was a better option than walking so he did a fun run.
Next scheduled walk is at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve, looking forward to that.
