I wasn't feeling well the past two days, so I'm not counting them.
Today, I did my walk after I went to the Post Office.
Pioneer Park was the closest one that I knew. It is by the river, and was part of my route. My head supervisor didn't like it: "The place looks like a graveyard. The restrooms look like a mausoleum, the memorial markers look like tombstones, and it's just dark." It's a popular place for weddings, as the rose gardens are there and the lawn and trees in the back of the park make for beautiful photos and a pavilion for the wedding dinner. It has fewer trees, thanks to last winter's storms and a diligent naturalist taking some down. The trail goes down stream and connects to First Street Rapids area by a footbridge, and from there, you can follow the trail to Sawyer Park. I've been on the trail for a small distance but it felt creepy. So I didn't go there.
Orchard Park was the closest one I didn't know. It looked small when I've seen it on the map, so I decided to leave that for another day.
Riverbend: I promised myself that I'd wear a hat the next time I went there. Farewell Bend"s traffic is terrible. Larkspur Trail from Pilot Butte to the south, again bad traffic.
So back to Juniper. Nice walk.
