Thanks WTA .. success Uploading pictures to TR 😅

Please note: i am having difficulties uploading pictures to this TR .. i had tried ~8 times, and each time, i would encounter "Insufficient Privilege" message from WTA Trip Report screen .. i will try again later.

Please be aware of the "Animal Safety Alert" w.r.t. Toxic Blue Green Algae in the Sammamish River (at/around Blyth Park).

TUE 09apr2024 ~06:15 i was the first to arrive and parked in Blyth Park, Bothell WA. ~2+ hours later, 2 vehicles had arrived (and parked).

Started drizzling and it ended ~2 hours later. Out i went on a CCW-Loop via "road link connectors" .. Blyth Park > Piper's Glen > ~1 mi of Tolt Pipeline Trail > ~0.6 mi of Burke Gilman Trail > Blyth Park.

V light traffic on the road link connectors (~2 miles on Sidewalks, and ~0.6 mi on Road-shoulders). Saw no other person walking on the road link connectors, TPT, or BGT. Saw some small birds in the woods. Relatively peaceful and quiet.

Blyth Park was nice and clean. The Restrooms weren't open when i first arrived (~06:15). But when i got back at ~09:15, these were opened; its relatively clean.

Tracking errors/interuptions on 2 of my Hiking Apps (myguess is that my Phone is "extra sensitive" to wet weather. Luckily, the 3rd : Caltopo ran fine 🙃

Cheers!
