Volksmarch in Mueller

[livingdeb]

A couple of weeks ago, I went on a Volksmarch. I first learned about those things when I lived in Georgia a couple of decades ago, and I went on a couple there, but haven't been on any since. But when they had one at the old airport, I decided to check it out and see what kind of trail they were able to put together.

Right near the beginning I met a lady who wanted a walking companion and it was nice. She'd written a book about how to travel by just moving from place to place to learn about the places, the politics, and yourself. So we talked about different places we've both lived.

Here was the start of the trail.



I learned there was a small waterfall.



It was at the end of a whole lake I hadn't seen before. Autumn is pretty much at its peak here. And you can see the old air control tower in the background.



There was a rather large spider over the trail.



Rather than one 10K walk, the Volksmarchers had put together two 5K walks. I ended up only doing one of the walks--the other, called the "retail" walk, seemed to cover more familiar territory. But today, I tried to combine the two and ended up walking for almost 2.5 hours. Here is an old airplane hanger as the backdrop of an urban landscape.



Here are some pretty big houses.



I saw those escaped parrots.



I leave you with birds and berries.



Quote of the Day - paraphrased from our waitress, when she came to refill the drinks and the notorious drinker still had a full glass: "I don't know you anymore. This is awkward."

Birds, berries, and giant spiders - looks like a fun walk.
