A Merritted Walk (11/7/24)

A quick note for history, there was an election in the US Tuesday, November 5th. I fear the results will make it one of the few dates that Bob and I will always remember exactly where we were at and what we were doing when they (the results) were announced. We did little yesterday except try to process.

Today, we needed to get out for a walk to try to regain a sense of normalcy. We walked a short portion of the Merritt Trail with Jack. The full trail is 10.1k and is a combination of paved and off-road trails, with some connector portions on neighborhood sidewalks. It runs partly along an older version of the current Welland Canal system.

C’mon, people, I’m ready!
Heading out on the trail off of Glendale Avenue in Merritton, about a 12 minute drive from the house.

The trail crosses a railroad tracks just past the park

Looking through the see-through-bridge.
Jack and Bob stayed on solid ground.
