DVOA Springton Manor - White Relay Leg (Summer Picnic and VP Relays)

Our relay team was the Pineapple Possum Passel (myself on White, Lena K on Yellow, Kathy M on Brown). This was just a quick and fun blast around the park. I ran most of the course with some short walk breaks until I started going back up the hill to 7/8/9, at which point I walked, then ran into the finish from 9.

W-Relay - Splits

All of the walking around in Philly with my friend Amanda, although this was broken up a bit throughout the day. Suburban Station to The Franklin Institute, from there to the courthouse area to eat dinner, up to and around Franklin Park for the lantern festival, and then to Jefferson Station to leave. Plus we walked and stood for several hours in the museum.

Just walking. It was nice outside, but I wanted the massage chair. Leg feels best that it has today. Hoping this continues.

Lesson on Crumpet

Started out in a suburban park, walking the paved loop trail and then out and back on a spur that goes around some farm fields. On the first time around the loop I noticed what looked like a possible trailhead in a corner of the park, but thought it might just go over to some houses. After the spur I went for a second time, in reverse, around the paved loop. When I reached that corner again, I decided to see if that trail went anywhere. It went into the woods for just a minute, then emerged into a wide, grassy path through a beautiful hidden meadow. There were no signs of any type, so I followed it through the meadow and it entered another woods. Still no signs, so I took the trail into the woods until it crossed a large creek on a culvert, but another branch of the creek did not have any bridge over it and I wasn't in clothes that I felt like getting filthy. It appeared the trail soon would reach the edge of a road, anyhow. So I backtracked through the meadow to the park and back to the car.

Looked it up in GIS and this land all does belong to the the township and is part of the same parcel as the park. Cool.

Dorwart Park - first time here in a while. The spur that goes up to the Wegman's and housing development is open, and it looks they they are putting a few more trails in that area.
