A whole new pathway system

It is hard to believe all the damage we have seen to our little network of trails, bridges, and view-checks. Four weeks ago our pathways were forever changed by the rush of the Elbow and Bow Rivers as they hustled their way down from the Rockies. 

Our opportunities to find a path and stick to it are rare around these parts. Every day I hear of a new path that has been washed out, detoured, or shouldn't be traveled. One of my work associates provided me with a map of Calgary paths and the issues we will face. It is pretty sad to understand...

There will be little bounce in the three bridges for many months

We have been trotting the last couple of weeks from McDonald's at Glenmore Landing until things settle down. The Tech Shop is still closed for business as the power has yet to be restored. Knowing the old business that is some big dollars in lost revenue for just one of many stores in Mission, never mind the staff we enjoy who have been without a wage for a month. 

Tonight (if you get this in time) we are going to head one mile west of McDonald's and meet at the South Glenmore Park lot at 24th Street and 90th Avenue SW. There is a pub across the street and a wading pool to cool off with after the trot. See you there at 630 pm. 

As for Saturday, let's meet at Max Bell Arena and take the canal pathway for a trot as it was saved from the destruction of the Bow. See you there at 8 am! it has the best view of the city.

Except the last time when it was really foggy.

But if you don't want to go there you can always do the MEC event at 9 am...

A few of you had shared this comic with me and so I must forward it on. 

That's all for now. See you soon...
