Champlin done, on to Fridley
I finished walking the City of Champlin last weekend, a total of 184 miles. This was city #11 in my four year plus quest.
It's now time to head across the river into Fridley, which should be about the same effort. I've scouted a pair of base "park and walk" locations, and weather permitting, I'll begin this weekend.
I'll have to be a little careful, though. Second-hand smoke remains a grave, uncontrolled danger in Anoka County. I could drop dead immediately if I carelessly walk too close to a bar entrance on my travels. And what if the only restroom close at hand is in a restaurant? But I'm going to risk it since to date, tainted spinach and Light Rail have killed more people.
