Return/Revisit

 

The view west toward Cheshire/the West Johnson Avenue area, from the Blue Trail up to West Peak.

Visit #1544, Saturday 26 July 25, 8:05-10:30AM, 5.2 miles, 7.7 lbs. of litter. 

Last week I found and painted over some graffiti I found on the perimeter wall of the Lower Pond.

I reported then I wasn't satisfied with the job. On Saturday I returned to the site to touch up the paint and make it look a bit more orderly. Well, I forgot to take a photo so I parked by the playscape vowing to return after my hike and do so.

Checking on the progress of my weedkiller application on the I-691 walkbridge after two weeks I was pleasantly surprised.

Hiking up the Blue Trail to West Peak, I found even more wild raspberry bushes than I found last week. I should taste some next week.

Up at West Peak I discovered some new graffiti. Looks like a memorial to someone. It's hard to read but from what I can gather the deceased died at 27 years old and was nicknamed "Bri". I did some searching and came to no solid conclusion. I will cover over it next week, as I've done before there. It's not the first time I have encountered such tributes, one one which was for a woman who committed suicide in Hubbard Park.


Find of the Week. Brings new meaning to "the shoe's on the other foot".

Walking on the road back to the park I see the fire department has spruced up this fire hydrant.

And then I moved on to photograph MY spruced up paint job.

This looks more orderly than what I did last week.

If I get blowback on this I have another approach to remove my work as well as the graffiti underneath.
