    This one is called Castle Craig.... Its in some park there in Meriden. I love the view from the top! :D If you notice the lush valley behind it at any rate. That view could only be enhanced by being above it.

    :drinker: Friday's Miles = 3.65 Mile

    Part of that was after I put my Client to bed and her Electricity went out! I lit a Candle in the Living Room and one in the Kitchen. Since her house has an "Open Floor Plan" those two candles gave enough light for me to walk a 'Circuit' through the Kitchen, Living Room, and Dining Room. It was a great way to stay awake in the Dark.

    Is the Castle in Hubbard Park? If I am looking at the Wikipedia Map correctly, it has lots of Hills in the Park and some nice Water Features which are similar to the Water Spouts in My City Park. I will have to go to the Park and walk up and down some of the Hills!!

    You are 12 hours behind us I'm afraid, so I always add the date with my miles so you know what day I mean.

    Lovely overcast, cool day here that may finally deliver rain. Its been a very long, hot, dry summer here and autumn (fall) is slow to arrive, so we need the rain badly. But my morning walk was lovely - lots of birds, swans and ducks on the river, magpies and wattlebirds in the trees singing melodically. Good day to be alive :smile:

    Yes it is in Hubbard Park. And it says there are lots of trails and paths around there. Do you live close by? That would be SO awesome if you do!

    :glasses: It was 68 degrees today, just Very Windy! But even with the Wind it was too nice not to take advantage of it. I walked 50 minutes at the Park (2.75 Miles). If you want to, I think you can find the Park on Google Maps - "Yukon Oklahoma Boot Hill Park."
    I also went to the Gym and rode the Recumbent Bike for 30 minutes (7.29 Miles). Finally, this Evening, Hubby and I walked to 7-11 for my Coffee (2.24 Mile).

    :drinker: Total was 120 Minutes - 12.28 Miles

    2 in for me yesterday! I miscalculated the city before by eyeballing it. I wish I had a program that I could calculate how many miles there. Say we start in Boston and I put in New York as a destination then I can put in the miles we did and it calculate where we are on the route. That would be innovative and if I knew a THING about IT and programming, I would SOOOOO be on it and making a site just like that. lol. So right now ladies, I am waiting for us to catch up to Meriden for real then I will post more pics and travelogues. As it is I am going to have to do some serious math to calculate it. lol.

    131-34.08= 96.92 miles to go! Which it looks like we finally are.

    I do apologize and will do better in the future. :)
