9 of 75 – Cherry Hill Beach
Read more: 9 of 75 – Cherry Hill BeachCherry Hill is perhaps one of my favorite places to walk Cali. I get a good walk on the beach, and Cali gets to run after the ball. We are both in heaven. Cherry Hill is a bit of a weird beach. It isn’t a bit at high tide. And, as we discovered again today,…

8 of 75 – Random ATV trails in Conquerall
Read more: 8 of 75 – Random ATV trails in ConquerallA five minute drive from my house, there is an entry point to a series of ATV trails. It is not clear who owns the land, but the trails are used by locals to walk and local kids to play. I looked at the map and it doesn’t appear to be Crown Land, so someone…

7 of 75 – Indian Path Common
Read more: 7 of 75 – Indian Path CommonPerhaps my favorite place to hike – Indian Path Common. There aren’t a huge number of trails, such that I can usually hike 1/2 of them each time I go.

Read more: 5 of 75 – Rissers BeachRissers Beach used to be one of my default places to walk. It is one of the closests beaches. However, it isn’t the best for dog walking – or more to the point – it isn’t the best place for me to allow Cali off leash to run after the ball. As I walked through…

Read more: 4 of 75 – Crescent Beach – and some boxingI never imagined myself trying out boxing. I never imagined that I’d love it. … oday, I got out to the beach again – this time for a 4km walk.

3 of 75 – Woodland Gardens
Read more: 3 of 75 – Woodland GardensI didn’t have enough time between meetings today to get in the car and go someplace. Instead I decided to take my usual walk around the “Duck Pond” (officially called Town Pond) and turn that in an official walk. In order for it to count, it had to be at least 3 km, and the…

1 of 75 – Beach Meadows
Read more: 1 of 75 – Beach MeadowsKicking off my summer challenge today, we went to Beach Meadows for a walk on the beach. The beach isn’t quite 1.5km long, so we needed to do a little more than one lap of the beach. It wasn’t the warmest of days, but it was still a beautiful day at the beach. Tourist seasons…

A summer challenge
Read more: A summer challengeMy semester is about to end. With the end of this semester, I am off until the Fall. I don’t feel like I’ve had a summer off in years, although I don’t think I taught last summer! Anyways, this summer I have wanted to set myself a challenge – something that I could achieve but…
