Des Moines

Well, we're back in Des Moines and I was jonesin' for a hike. I really had no choice but to simply go for a walk instead. So, I walked across town to my sister's, at Beatnik Urban Farm No. 1. Got to walk through the sculpture park downtown, and past Sec Taylor Ballpark (I refuse to use the corporate name), where I discovered how much time is left until the Cubs' first pitch.

Silver Peak Trail

Drove three hours to hike this morning. Stopped for gas in Benson on the I-10: $2.89/gal. Stopped again on the way back, same station: $3.09...
