Good day for a hike. Sun is out- but cool temperatures in the high teens.
Drove to Bonnie's to see if her dog Tia wanted to join me on a hike to the Mission Park Greenway. As usual, Tia's tail was in full wagging mode, and she patiently waited for me to hook up the leash.
We left at 12:30.
We hiked from Bonnie's, which is adjacent to the Rutland Sports Fields, and off we went. In 25 minutes had gone through the busy suburban areas, and were in orchard and vineyard country. Never get tired of the amazement of being in a completely rural area, with no indication there is a bustling City, just a short distance away.
We took Molnar, to Belgo and stayed on Belgo until we got to Hollywood Road South. This is the sign at the entrance to the parking lot for the Mission Park Greenway.
It took Tia and I 60 minutes to reach our destination, and the distance was 6 kilometers.
We then hiked down a beautiful trail, and crossed the creek on a bridge, where we stopped to explore and allow Tia to have a swim and a drink.
It looked like rain clouds were forming, and since Tia and I had not brought any rain gear, we decided to head on home, instead of continuing down to the trailhead, which was still about 30 minutes away.
As usual, Tia was a great hiking buddy, and we made it back to Bonnie's by 2:30pm.
We had a few sprinkles of rain on the way home- and we were pretty tired but happy.
