Grain Train

Walked with a friend: Minneapolis, both sides of the Mississippi, plus close encounter with a grain train.

Urban hike in falling snow: 10-mile loop following railroads all the way. Some “No Trespassing” signs were ignored.

Misty walk with a friend round Lake Nokomis. We made it before the rain started in earnest.

Bus to NE edge of Minneapolis. Walked back home through a variety of neighborhoods including postindustrial Nordeast.

Another day of hiking the North Downs. Today we only visited one hostelry–for lunch and libation.

North Downs walk with a friend included a pub, brewery, and liquor store/micro-brewery. Local beer procured at each.

Walked with friends along Northumberland’s coast. En route: the castle across this bay, pub lunch, afternoon tea.

Walked a variety of trails as we headed to the edge of The Burren, and Ballyvaughan for the night.

We walked a loop on good, quiet trails across The Burren, returning to Fanore. The weather has been fine for a week.

We continued walking through The Burren until we reached Fanore for the night.
