The pavement is wet. Local trails are mushy. This is a day for the Coyote work-out.

These Rollerblade brand skates, with their big rubber tires, can go anywhere a bicycle will. They sneer at wet pavement; they lap it up.

I love it that Rollerblade named their trail skates after the Trickster.

a trail suggestion
FCM and I walked with the four-dog pack this morning at Bear Creek, starting at the skate park and making the turn back at the big sunken ritual area...

the creek is rushing, like rapids. It is more like hiking the Appalachian trail than a little CoMo city trail this morning!

Was a lovely morning for it.

We very nearly crossed paths, then. I pulled in near the skate park and donned my Coyotes, then skated the streets at Cosmo rather than that slippery asphalt trail I use on dry days.

Was the Bear Creek trail muddy? I walk that section a lot, but from the other direction; the Creasy Spring trail head is just up the road from our house.

The heavy fog reminded me not of the Appalachians, but of skating the sea wall at Galveston Island: stiff even wind, damp air, fog blending to light rain. It was a great day to be outside!
