Friday, April 22, 2011: We did another walk with the San Antonio Nature Hounds. It was warmer and more humid tonight than it was last week. However, at 86 degrees and 50% humidity, it was still comfortable, compared to what we expect this summer, and we enjoyed the walk.
When we arrived at Lady Bird Johnson Park, we met a few other people and dogs. Diane knew one couple we saw. Then we found out that the meeting point was further into the park. (Diane didn't read the directions carefully enough.) Others drove, but Diane and I walked to meet the other Nature Hounds near the linkage to the Salado Creek Greenway. There were 12 dogs and 10 people in our group.
The walk organizer brought one of his Great Danes, and there was a new walker with his Australian Ridgeback, named Rigby. There was another dog who was part Red Heeler (like me!) and probably part Husky (with blue eyes) named Tang! There were a number of other smaller dogs, and Maggie, who is a border collie mix and who barks more than the other dogs do.
The trail was a wide concrete sidewalk and suitable for strollers, and probably even wheelchairs for most of the route. A few people on bikes and skateboards passed us, but there weren't a lot of other people or dogs out walking on the trail besides us. When we got to Loop 410, where we heard and saw lots of vehicles passing by, we stopped, waited for the rest of the group, and some of us got water. I was hoping I would get a treat, but I didn't. We turned around and re-traced our steps on the Salado Creek Greenway, back to our starting point. Diane and I returned to the car. I was fairly content on the ride home.
