Shady Trail Report

 

Adventure Location:

Decatur, Alabama

Date: June 26, 2023

Our first duty today was straightening up the Castle a good bit. We had left overs from several birthday gift wrapping events and miscellaneous other minor projects the OFM has done lately just being needing to clean up. Yep the trash bins are a bit heavier today.

Then we reconfirmed our route and distance for the SHADY TREE WALK along the river front. What the OFM forgot was to make certain that the camera had an empty chip card in it. We hit the trail moderately early and soon wanted a picture for the blog. Guess what the camera was smart enough to tell the OFM there was no memory card in the camera. But at least the camera was polite and did not tell the OFM how stupid he is out in public.

The route proved to be a well considered walk and about 85% shady. We made the whole 3 miles in decent fashion, but still disappointed at the good pics wee failed to get. The OFM asked himself why we had never laid out this route in all the other hot summers we have spent here. No intelligent answer was forthcoming.

The afternoon was used up shopping for presents for relatives and not having any luck. The shopping was a bit tiresome and the OFM needed some horizontal time. Probably the new walking path and distance added to that need. However we set the A/C temp to Sleep and set a timer for a 35 minute nap. We are fairly certain the OFM's head was asleep before it hit the pillow.

And now it is time to fix supper, put things away and rest for trying to have tooooo much fun tomorrow.
