Treks and Adventures
The approaching rain held off long enough for Lori, Jeanette, Slyvia and I get a walk in at Noble Woods Park and Rood Bridge Park. I was surprise how much the flood waters had drop from a week or so earlier. After the walk we went to Backwoods Brewing again.
A scouting walk in Noble Woods Park and Rood Bridge Park. This was part of tracking the route of the Rock Creek Trail. Most of the trail in Rood Bridge Park was under flood waters. Both parks had their charms. I did about 1.4 miles in Noble Woods Park and 1.7 miles in Rood Bridge Park.

This was an exploritory walk of the Tualatin River Greenway Trail. I started a Tualatin Community Park and made my way through the downtown to reach the newer part of the trail. This trail begins by tell the story of the Ice Age Floods and ends with the building of the Plank Road. There is a lot to see and read on this section. The trail goes on to the Brown’s Ferry Park and a little ways further and ends. This was my turn around point. From here I headed back taking some alternitive trails and checking out some side trails. I did a side trip through the heart of Tualatin at the pond and returned to my starting point. Next was to explore going North to Cook Park. This section was not very interesting and had more people. I then returned to my car. I did about 7.5 miles in 3.5 hours.
