Lake Shawnee Trail

We spent the morning on some chores. This afternoon we took a bike ride around the lake on the paved Lake Shawnee Trail. The ride was just over six miles and definitely included some challenging hills. An unexpected treat was finding the Ted Ensley Garden, with lovely plantings, streams, fountains and waterfalls. We heard music and found a wedding in progress. Another wedding party was taking pictures in another part of the garden.

The trail runs all the way around the lake, passing beaches, the campground, marina, golf course, picnic areas, playgrounds, ball fields, and so on. All is beautifully maintained. What a great resource for the city.

Tonight we sat out at our picnic table and watched the setting sun. It wasn't as spectacular as some sunsets, but still suffused the western sky with pink light.

We met one of our fellow campers this morning. He showed some interest, so we invited him in to show off our New Horizons. He invited us to stop by and see his Country Coach, which we did this evening. He was especially proud of the custom cabinetry that he and his wife had had installed. They purchased the coach when it was one year old and had only 4,500 miles on it. The quality of the workmanship and the creative ideas of the owners made this motorhome stand out.

We're parked so that a tree blocks our satellite dish, so we've been watching local antenna TV. This morning we watched some interesting PBS news analysis shows. The local PBS station has three channels. Last night we watched Nightly Business Report, which hasn't been carried by the PBS national feed for some time now.

Blogger has dropped the old interface, and I don't like the new one. Not much I can do about that!
