The First Saga

Well, for a winter excursion, that went well. Myself and another Railroader walked down a good stretch of track today, starting with the Playground Road up by Fairview. There's a playground there, and a railroad that wanders down across the city and curves around the better part of the residential areas, follows Ayd Mill road down to 35-E and skips from there to follow the highway along until the railroad passes under the high bridge. The first bridge, across Snelling avenue at Marshal, has a ton of gorgeous graffiti on it. It's a quite nice walk, I'll have to go there sometime in the summer, when the snow isn't deep enough to tire me out quickly.
Anyway, we didn't make it very far, we just got to Selby, where we cut off the railway and switched to the roads instead. Sidewalks are better shoveled than rail lines. Simple fact of life, that. No photos, either. I'll get some up for Vancity. I'll get more in the summer.

Looks like Summer will change a lot.

Further Adventures

So, as I said, there will be more adventures happening later. If they can be called adventures, anyway. When I get back to Saint Paul for the summer, I'll start doing the Urban Exploring sort of thing. More sewers and fewer railroads, in other words. The upshot of this is that I won't be working alone. Too dangerous, drain running alone. Something happens, no one's there to help you. So yeah. Just thought a preview of what's coming up would be a good thing.

In other news, I've got a few things I need to do before I go back to Vancouver. There may be a post later today.

No Updates

So... I kinda doubt anyone really noticed that I haven't been posting much. Here's the reason: I don't really like going outside and walking when it's cold. I'm back in Saint Paul, and there's a couple feet of snow down, so it can be hard to walk along railroads without getting majorly cold feet. I feel witty now.

Anyways, updates and wanderings will resume upon my return to Vancouver.
