Treks and Adventures
Wedging in between two rainy frontal systems I got in an exploratory walk of Eastside trail of the Burnt Bridge Creek Trail in Vancouver, WA. During the pandemic Lori and I tried to walk this trail but the area had been taken over by the homeless and the drug addicts’. Although the remanence of that time still remain I did not see a tent any where.
A 4 mile social walk with Linda, Jeanette, Sylvia and I at Gordy Jolma Family Natural Area. The walk started in the fog but by the end it had cleared. Afterwards we went to Barrel Mountain Brewing for lunch.
Lori, Jeanette, Sylvia and I did a walk along Vancouver Waterfront. Same route that we had often done before but the fog on the river gave it a different look. The walk was about 5 miles. Along the walk we stopped in at the Waterfront Taphouse for lunch.
I have wanted to explore more of Brunt Bridge Creek Trail in Vancouver, WA but up to now have not been able to find away around the homeless camps under and around the Freeway. In taking another look at the maps I found what I had hope would be a good starting point. So I set out for my exploratory walk from Leverich park that connected onto the Brunt Bridge Creek Greenway. I found the trail tent free but I could see lots of spots that had been homeless camps. I did a 6 mile out and back walk with my turn around point at Meadow Homes Park. It surprised me how interesting this urban trail was. There is still more trail for me to explore and I hope the squatter problem is over.
Lori, Jeanette and I did a walk along Salmon Creek in the Salmon Creek Regional Park in Vancouver, WA. The place has a very barron look this time of year. Our out and back walk was about 5.5 miles long. Afterwards we went to Billygun’s Roadhouse for lunch.
