A Late Afternoon Riverwalk

Sheila and I needed to check Mother's house after several very cold days. All was fine. Since we were coming from West Rome, rather than starting our evening walk from home we decided to park at the Mount Berry Trailhead near the post office and start there. There must have been a dozen cars in the lot; we were not the only folks ready for a walk in the not quite so cold weather.

There was still plenty of ice about though the dusting of snow was gone except in the deepest shadows.

There only a few icy/snowy spots along the riverwalk.


This fall/winter collection of debris under the Veterans Parkway bridge has a torrent of water streaming around the eastern side.


The highway department will have a pretty big job clearing this out.

We walked all the way to the temporary end of the trail at the new Big Dry Creek bridge. When the short stretch of riverwalk from the bridge to the Armuchee Bypass is completed the Riverwalk will be a complete circuit for our backyard to the confluence on the west side, upstream to the stadium, across to the west side by the bypass bridge and back to our house. All that with no road crossings. Wow.

It was almost dark by the time we got back to the pond near the trailhead.


A beautiful end to a nice walk.
