A perfect day for hiking

We could not have asked for more perfect weather for our most recent Camino simulation hike. Today I was joined by eight others including three repeat hikers from my previous simulation hikes.

With temperature starting in the high 50s, we were able to complete our 15 mile journey a little before 1 PM and the weather was in the mid 70s when we reached Waterfront Park again.

As with our previous hikes, we stopped in the Sellwood district for a coffee break and then had a picnic lunch in Hamilton Park along the Terwilliger Parkway.

Fancy goat house with adjoining chicken coop.

This time as we were leaving the coffee shop, some locals asked us if we were going to see the goats. They described a house, just a couple blocks out of our path where they had a goat pen in their front yard. We made a little detour and saw the cutest goat pen, which also happened to house, rabbits and chickens in the front yard just a couple of blocks off of the main business district in Sellwood.

    Greg, you started preparing for this journey when you spent all that time in Seattle hiking Green Lake and all the spots on your app. ~ Ruth

      True. Hiking has been in my veins for a long time.
