First hike

Hamster at bloody bridge trailhead parking.

I love this time of morning.

Other than the few it was great.  The dew was an issue and my shoes where wet through most of this walk.

The herons here are awesome they go flying through the canal and finally got a picture of one flying away.

Close up

Six mile aqueduct

A small portion is gravel.  Most of this day was grass.

Pretty view down the road.

The goal is in sight.

I crossed the street but that is the church that is the end of stmarys and start of delphos.

Truly how delphos starts

Nice view of some blue blazes noticed them most going back

Goose in the canal.

Walked to the sign and got a picture since I knew I had also done the same yesterday.

Hamster at the library parking lot.

The trail goes around the front of the library and down the sidewalk for a short piece to the vow and down a gravel road parking lot seen below.

The area next to the vow where the trail goes after library and into the park seen next.

There is a road road bridge above and this is how you enter the city park.

So many geese.

The path is paved to the other entrance of the park where you cross the street.

Many ball fields here.  There are restrooms here and they were open when I was here.

The parking noted on the section map.

I liked this view with the tree on the right of the path.  It just was pretty.

The city park.

Map of the grounds here at the park it is seen at the street entrance.

A gate and a blaze for the trail.

Ok this was a bit tough to find. If looking from the park this is on the right side of the canal.

White ducks

Statue in front of the vfw.  

Day before memorial day.
