Creekside Hike, or Enjoy the video, Deborah Kay

Bellingham has some great urban parks, some of them off-leash varieties for letting semi-dynamos like Casey "air it out".  We hiked to one of our favorites today,

Our trek took us along Whatcom Creek Gorge to our destination, a community park established in 1908 with much of the trail and stonework completed courtesy of FDR and the Works Progress Administration in the 30s and 40s. 

Stops along the way were spontaneously Casey, except for the park fish hatchery.  He would have preferred to skip that side-trip altogether.  And imagine if you will the sweat we worked up...well, the sweat I worked up...and also what some guy, walking through the woods carrying on a running commentary with a Border Collie, must have looked and sounded like to the other hikers.

  1. Geno, loved the video. Felt like I got a good hike in for the day. Also, enjoyed the close up of the salmon. I might even admit Casey is a little more handsome and photogenic then Harley. I will send a couple of pictures of Jack and his hiking while visiting SLO. Love.

  2. Cool, Deb. I figured you'd appreciate it. Casey was really dragging at the end. He loves going on this trail though.
