Bradley Palmer State Park

We have a very nice day today. Sunny, cool (~ 14 degC) without a cloud in the sky. Sylvin asked whether Sophie and I wanted to have a walk in Bradley Palmer State Park. So three of us headed off to the Park at two.

I have never been to this park although it is only 10 minutes' drive from our home. It turns out to be a small park and covered with a web of unpathed walking trails. We saw people biking and riding horses. It is actually a perfect place for horse back-riding and there are a couple of open-field and a few riding trails with obstacles for horses.


We didn't know there were plenty of walnut trees in the park until we picked up the green fruits all over the ground. I picked up a small rock and cracked open one of them against a rock (looked like a stone-age human) and tasted a small bite. It was so bitter but you can tell it was walnut. They were obviously still too green.

We downloaded and printed out the trail map and took the trails randomly. We spent less than 2 hours to cover 2/3 of the park. Not much of scenic view but in this time of the year the foliage makes the trails pleasant looking. More of the pictures are available at my picasa web album.
