John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
I’m not sure where the day will take us, but the effort will be put forth to take advantage of the opportunity…
Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏
First things first, you would need one of two things to use the parking lot. Either $7.00 ( per car )or a Virginia State Park annual pass.
There are a few different things that make this stretch ideal for someone who is trying hard to remain healthy.
The scenery is first and foremost as the creek is running to your right.
2. There are two wooden bridges that cross the creek inside of the initial 3/4 mile.
3. The trees 🌳 line both sides and meet high above the trail 👣 to provide God’s own version of an umbrella 🌂 from the sun 🌞.
4. The surface is both giving and as flat as one could ask for. This combination makes it easier for the knees.
5. There is a public rest room at the entrance to the trail.
6. Easy access to the parking lot, right off US-58 by the CVS pharmacy.
7. Five benches pop up along the first mile, providing much needed rest stations along the way for those building up endurance.
This portion of the trail 👣 is the only place where two tracking systems coexist. MM 51 is part of the entire trail, while there are also four wooden ones showing each half mile leading up to the next entry point.
You can see that only 40 feet separated the highest and lowest elevation.
For the folks who are already working 💪 on their health, there is plenty of trail to follow, but if your journey is just beginning, then this could be a great place to start.
Deuteronomy 31:8 And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
Have yourself a Blessed Day 🙌😇🙏
Treadmill visit 4 of 4 (60:01) took place in Laurel Fork, after practice…….
Four hours, four venues, three states, and two tired legs 🦵. Plus, the 2 hours at Hillsville Elementary School with Vickey.
It is certainly a first-time day, and here in a bit, there are a couple of stories to write ✍️….
Editors note 📝📋, next time, don’t cut it so close….
.
I’m not sure if this visit is number five or six, but Home Trust Park always feels like a throwback ballpark.
The visitors are from Rome, Georgia, and they lead 7-1 after three innings thanks to a Grand Salami in the top of the second inning. That call belongs to the Seattle Mariners announcing legend…
Stops ✋️ along the way in Statesville, Hickory, and a few spots in Asheville before a 6:05 first pitch….
Rome now goes by the Emperors but back in the day, they were the Braves. They have a nice park back in Georgia, and tonight, they are making themselves right at home here. Two more runs push the lead to 9-1.
Russell Wilson wore the uniform back when he was double dipping with baseball ⚾️ and the National Football League.
Earlier today, some baseball history was made in the Windy City as a rookie for the visiting Cardinals had himself quite a day !
Baseball ⚾️ on a steamy Saturday night in August is as American as it gets ! I think the terminology is the Dog 🐕 Days of August……
Rome continues to roll, now 11-1 in the top of the fifth inning…
The Tourists throw out a runner at the plate to keep it at 13-1 at the Midway point…[7:48]
7th inning stretch, 13-3….
