Inwood Hiking Trails

In one of my usual fits of wanderlust, I decided to head out to the Inwood Hiking Trails and do some wandering. So I swung by the Jimmy John’s at 23 Mile and Schoenherr and grabbed a veggie sub (no mayo, of course), swung by a party store and grabbed a bottle of water, then I headed up to the park. While I haven’t calculated the whole route yet, I’m estimating that I walked somewhere around five miles of slightly hilly trails ranging from gravel to through-the-woods.

There are a bunch more pictures here (photo gallery retired) if anyone is interested in seeing them. Here’s what are, in my opinion, some of the more notable photos:

· A typical trail through the more wooded areas of the park.
· Quite a bit of the path runs along these power lines.
· I’ve had this backpack since high school. It’s traveled most places I’ve gone. And it still makes a good day pack.
· The mosquito-filled Inwood Lake.
· A sign that has been quite shot up by… someone.
· The source of a low, distant noise throughout the park. It appears to be a generator running a pump of some sort.
· Towards the end of the day I noticed a hot air balloon floating above.
· The moon was alos out and looking quite nice.
· Along the way I found some piles of bones: 1 – 2
· The shadows were getting long, so it was time to leave. My camera battery also ran out right after I took this shot.

Oh, also, my manager doesn’t seem too happy with my taking 2.5 weeks off of work in one go. We’ll see, though… She still hasn’t said no yet. I’m also looking up heading to the UK at this time, as the airfare would be $450 for non-stop DTW->LGW then LGW->DTW via Northwest.
