Day 61: A long walk

Today is Election Day, and I have the jitters.  As I was driving by Farewell Bend Park, I decided to take a walk on the river trail, then when I walked under the Bill Healy Bridge, decided to go the other way instead.

So I went on the trail to the footbridge, crossed over to Riverbend Park, took the crosswalk by the Bend Parks and Recreation District Office, down to the Les Schwab Amphitheater, past the Art Station that was across the street, and used the rest room at McKay Park.  I saw some of the my parks co-workers with their trucks, two were from the shop, and one was from facilities, but they were busy and didn't see me.
I don't skateboard, but going up the path to the White Water Park overlook, I wished that I did.  I looked over to Miller's Landing Park to my left, but turned to my right to go under the Colorado Bridge via the pedestrian tunnel, walked to the Old Mill District, passed the flagged pedestrian bridge and went on to the Columbia Bridge pedestrian tunnel, exiting the Old Mill District.

I walked past the condos and into Farewell Bend Park, and went the length of it, back to my car.

I have no idea how long it took, nor how long the walk was, but I felt good.  No aches, no heavy breathing, just a gentle tiredness.
