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.

A Return to the Scene of the Climb...

...and Fall I finally returned to the David Yetman Trail, a favorite hike that, while longish at around 13 miles, is not overly challenging ...
