To Kingfisher Trail

Sheila and I took our first walk out the Kingfisher Trail in quite a long time  -- evidently it's been a year at least! 

Along the way we were pleased to see work underway to reclaim and restore Unity Point at the confluence of the rivers.




We crossed the South Broad bridge to the Kingfisher Trailhead at the foot of Myrtle Hill.



As we neared the bridge over Silver creek I notices some yellow across the creek between it and the Etowah River. Can you see the Disc Golf target (do they call it a "hole"?) I had not even known a disc golf course was planned there. 


From near the old railroad (now foot-) bridge we saw more disc golf stuff and decided to check it out.

This is between the creek and the river.






The course begins on the opposite side of the river.















From the Kingfisher Trail we walked down First Avenue to First Street and took a few minutes to glance around the antique mall there. This combination hobby horse ---

--- high chair was an interesting item

We walked up a very busy Broad Street and enjoyed stopping outside Ford, Gittings, and Kane Jewelers to visit with our friends Jan Fergerson and Fran & Rick Buice. Then we walked on to Schroeders and had a late lunch of Salvador Deli (Sheila) and Crummy Pita (me). While there we got to visit a little with little Annie Mink and her daughter-in-law (and my former student Natalie) and Annie's GRANDCHILD! Oh my. Tempus fugit. 

As we neared home we noticed Ben Chaffin playing pin the levee withy his little boy and Murphy the dog. It is so nice to have lots of young families on Avenue A these days. (Not a good picture, but I wanted to remember this scene.

The back yard is over grown, but its nice on the ninth day of November to see the "Jubilee Hibiscus", Miss Huff Lantana, and Knock Out Roses blooming.
