2020 10 02 - State Park, William O'Brien

The paths are becoming covered in leaves.

One of us has been kind of under the weather so we haven't been out for a few days. We didn't want to go to far, but this is a nice drive and the trails are flat.

This park has a number of trails on the 'high ground' but this one is right down next to the river. There is only this one path of any distance on this side of the highway.

This path is paved from the parking lot to the end of what we see on this picture. Enough to get someone close for a view of the river.

This is the trail. There is a blue marker on a post on the left and the river is on the right. I did, well I thought I did, take a picture to show how high we were above the river but with my new phone it doesn't always take the picture when I tap the button. Not sure what it does, focuses, pops up options, but doesn't take a picture and I don't know it until I am home looking at them.

This trail is sort of a rectangle with about a fourth of the trail following the river. Where we turn inland there is a small stream about one or two feet wide. From there we can also see the houses along the rivers. Not much of a buffer right there.

We actually past someone walking today. The littlest person hadn't been walking for too long. A fair number of people out walking for a week day. As we were leaving we were seeing the campers coming in.

Someone was using a leaf blower to clear the street in the park. How 'natural' is that?

We walked for about 45 minutes today. I'm sure others could have done the same steps in less time. But we were outdoors, fresh air. Nice, but cool weather. 40's? Another month and even those will be history for the year.

No wildlife sightings today in the park. Maybe a squirrel or a bird.

Drove through the camp grounds on our way out. There were a few people all ready there, but more were on their way.

People in line both when we can and when we left waiting to buy something at the office. Daily, annual permit. Camping permit. People are out.
