First trip for the beast 

Jess in the rain at the sign

And we begin.

Wet rainy day

We walked around Lake Medina

View off the side

More sidewalk than we thought we would have

We joked maybe we are in Vegas for a fountain show at the Bellagio.

Welcome to Medina

Nice wide walk way here

Many flags out today on a few corners

It was flag day after all.

Little park off the trail but a nice spot for a break and a portalet available.

So many deer out and visiting with us.

From the park to side of trail

The other way the multipurpose trail goes.

Wonder how far it goes this way

Champion Creek Trail

Another Park along the way.

This deer was ahead of us and getting the miles in this morning.

Hungry deer also curious as to who is coming through.

Nice wide bike path through woods

Interesting sign just trail 

These were interesting 

You explore a scale universe as you go.

Medina sign this might have been after we missed a turn.

Nice fountain 

The turn we missed in an alley

More of the universe

Getting closer as we go to the Sun 🌞 

View on side of trail

The Sun 🌞 we have reached the center

Some information about this trail and project overall.

3m seems a sponsor

Nice to see parking space and eco parking with rain control

We reach another named trail on a sidewalk here.

There are a few trail library's in the city.

This was especially decorative.

Front view.

Headed into the squared

Today was the Juneteenth celebrations 

Live music going on

So many vendors I could not capture.

Near the coffee shop a nice clock in the Square 

The coffee shop.  Was busy today

View back at action in the square.

This is off trail but a detour we took to avoid a bit of traffic and construction.  There is work on sidewalk but it is passable.

Impressive building.  

This is a US court of Appeals

Looks like a former train station 

Huge biz here and a historical marker about the company

A good view of historical marker

Reverse side

Food Panty

Another Deer

Very run down building but I liked the sign

Long road stretch.

W Sign is for Whistle train but this looked a bit different

A sign about the Lester Rail Trail.

Well marked on the rail trail

A parking area for rail trail

The memorial at the park

Back to the park.

An after treat was needed

Jess hung around today and really enjoyed spending the extra time with her a bit.

We people watched from the second floor.

Always nice to get to know someone on the trail, but especially if that can carry over to off the trail.
