A Walking Adventure

Bob on the Way Back

Bob took off from work today and invited me to walk with him at the new Sugar Land Memorial park. The path had nicely packed crushed granite, but there was no shelter from the sun. It was a beautiful breezy day without a cloud in the sky. I figured we would walk for about 45 minutes to an hour, but as we turned the curve at the far east end of the path, we spotted the Brazos River. We decided to go and explore and wound up walking along a crude path on the high side of the river bank. It ran through the woods. We had walked for about 20 minutes when the footpath narrowed. We foolishly thought it was a temporary condition and ended up in a very bristled, brushy area with lots of poison ivy. Not a good situation when you're wearing shorts. We turned around and made it out without any damage (I think). Our total walk took one hour and forty minutes.
