2025/05/24

We're back at Townsend Park! The maps indicated that there was a longer loop (we walked a shorter loop on this hike: https://youtu.be/joPv3vFTZ0Q), which I could not find.

Welcome back to Creekside Park! This was a soggy walk... Listen carefully when I reach the grassy portions of the trail, you'll hear my socks and shoes getting rather moist.
