Tom Pearce Trail Walk Monday, April 2, 1pm.

Need to walk off all those Easter calories?  Please join me for a walk on the Tom Pearce Trail this Monday, at 1 p.m.  The trail head is at the end of NE Spalding Ave. (off of Agnes).  There's a small parking area.  Dogs on a leash are OK.   Main path is paved and mostly level, with lots of shade trees and beautiful scenery.  Several park benches are located along the path.  The trail ends at the Tom Pearce Park entrance and you have the option to continue on into the park or just head back to the parking lot.  The trail, round trip, is about 1.5 miles.

Please R.S.V.P. at nifty50plus@outlook.com so I know how many folks to wait for.

I hope to see you there!  😊
