Lord Hill Regional Park — Sunday, Sep. 23, 2018

Did a little exploring up on Lord Hill today. Re-discovered a good sized erratic that I had forgotten about - I'll add it to the list. At the top of the hill, it levels off to little pockets of grass and boulders amid widely spaced evergreens, and a small cliff on the backside. No view through the trees.

Went down the hill to Temple Pond, then cut thru the trees to meet the Pipeline. Popped out at the Viewpoint Cut-off, and headed up to the Viewpoint to kick back for awhile. Sat on the backside, looking up the valley.

Heard someone right below, walking up the Midway. Haven't been all the way to the southend for awhile, so decided to Forrest Gump it: "Well, I figured if I come this far, I might as well keep going. So I did."

All the way to the Quarry Bowl. But now it was nearly sundown; and I was at the wrong end of the park. Figured this would be a good opportunity to see how long it takes to do the Midway.  At a brisk walk, it took just under an hour to reach the boardwalks. Not bad; but it was getting dark...

Anyway, here are some views you don't get to see from the main trails:
