Oregon Ridge park – Miners trail – 1 mile

9/11 🇺🇸 NEVER FORGET! 🇺🇸 I thought this morning that we’re gonna start on Miners trail – since we have never done it – and since it’s only about a mile, we’ll just catch up to the main loop at the end. Wrong! This trail is super short but it’s action packed and so lovelyContinue reading “Oregon Ridge park – Miners trail – 1 mile”

NCR – Weisburg rd. to Frederick rd. – North

9/4/19 – 4.56 miles 🎂 “Country roads take me gnome.” 🎂 It is my birthtoday so I am treating myself with NCR. It’s always a good idea!

Lake Roland – Lakeside dr. off of Falls rd. – main entrance

❤️ “Forgotten places, Do they wait for us to come and sit there?” – Architha Reddy ❤️ In 2001 I came here with my then employer’s English Bulldogs to go for a walk.

Falls road – Wrights lane (Lake Roland) – Orange trail

We start out as usual parking on the side of Falls rd. following the red trail paint. This morning one of the houses above the trail draining their pool because it smells like pool water and the whole path is flooded. I have to tippy toe around not to get wet. The morning rays areContinue reading “Falls road – Wrights lane (Lake Roland) – Orange trail”

Lake Roland – Blue trail – 3 miles

Entering as always from the Falls rd entrance….at Wrights lane. Following the trail up to just before the bridge then we turn left and head slightly downhill to the water. Great opportunity for dogs to take a dip under the bridge at the sandy beach. We will follow the blue trail today which will addContinue reading “Lake Roland – Blue trail – 3 miles”
