Happy Halloween! Here in Iowa City, it’s been all wind. I feel for the trick-or-treaters, as they’re gonna need coats over their costumes.
We got out for a relatively short walk today to visit a new (to us) park, Terry Trueblood Recreation Area. We had seen that among the other paths, there was a paved path around a lake. It provided good practice on our layering and also identified areas where we need to get better Midwestern winter clothing — mostly head and hand coverage.
The Terry Trueblood Recreation Area is 152 acres, including a lake, paved paths, a park lodge, picnic tables, equipment rentals, a playground etc. We had a nice walk, although quite bracing in the parts against the wind and with no tree blockage. It was 30 F but the windchill made it feel like 14 F when we were out. We weren’t the only ones though, we saw another walker and 2 runners as well.

that provided no blockage of the wind
which looks to be a very nice event space
