6.1 miles
hidden falls loop
54 degrees
Sunny and warm! Ran in the afternoon in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. What a view! Running over the ford bridge, I enjoyed looking at the river — almost flat, dark blue, small ripples that made me think, and not for the first time, of fish scales. There wasn’t much wind, just enough to create the fish scale effect. The bluff on the way to hidden falls was open and broad and beautiful — so much air! so far above the valley floor! Near hidden falls I heard some kids’ voices below.

- 2 skateboarders attempting to do tricks on the path
- a runner ahead of me in a bright yellowish-green shirt
- a fat tire! biking on the bridge
- running through wabun, hearing chain links rattle from a frisbee on the frisbee golf course
- yesterday I mentioned the stinky mulch on the side of path had been removed — nope, still there, still stinky
- my shadow beside me, faint in the afternoon light
- a small tree with bright orange leaves
- looking far down at the ground, noticing the all the rocks around the bridge
- something in a tree that looked like a big owl to me but must have been a balloon or a bag or a dark sweatshirt
