This photo was taken a couple of months ago, October 6th in the nearby town of Independence. We are parked behind their Civic Center, where we have good access to walk and bird on the Riverview Park Trail along the Willamette River. Now the days have grown shorter, the weather is colder, wetter, and the leaves are gone, as is our desire for complicated overnight trips. And then there are the distractions, or opportunities, you choose the word, of the new facilities here at Dallas Retirement Village.
With two new exercise rooms, a hot tub, and a swimming pool, we have lots of options to fill in the winter days. However, we continue to use the van, primarily for daytrips to close-by parks to walk and bird. It's a convenient mood of transportation, lots of room out of the elements to potty, change clothes, and enjoy lunch in the comfortable dinette with a furnace to keep us warm and comfortable.
Here are the links to bird walks from yesterday's daytrip.
