Urban Hike: Overlook Park, Sat., 7/22/2017 07:45-08:30CDT
Route: Thames to Overlook Park via Irma return via Jay St.
Distance: 1.2 miles Duration: 45 min Difficulty: Easy Rating: 4.5/5.0
Conditions: Quite warm & muggy even at 07:45 this morning. Heavy dew. Yard sale on upper Thames made for more than usual traffic on Thames. (Gracie does not like traffic!)
Thoughts/Observations:
Since we have work planned around the house today, I elected to take Gracie on an Urban Hike/Frisbee Play to Overlook Park. We are certainly in summer -- temperatures are very warm as soon as the sun comes up. Humidity is oppressive (what's new in Alabama during the summer?). I did not work Gracie long or hard, letting her walk around the park and then playing frisbee off-leash for a little while. She drank some water but seemed to want to play IN the bowl and get the water ON herself. (Can't say that I blame her for that.)
Overlook Park is convenient and well maintained. (Thank you City of Prattville.) Gracie enjoys going here and running. It is well-used however and not always suitable for Gracie to be off-leash.
Thank YOU, LORD, for this beautiful day and this Hiking Buddy!
