Run 076 - 3rd and 6th Cleanup by Metra

July 1, 2023

It’s another Saturday morning run and it was the usual crowd who showed up with the walkers outnumbering the runners.  I was not up to the usual 6 miles distance due to try to sort out a health-related issue and only to do planned 4 miles by taking 3rd to the Metra and 6th on the way back which would pick up a few blocks of each that I hadn’t run on yet.  Shelley was up for that so we headed out on what had to be one of the more boring runs I’ve done.  The route was so simple I didn’t even print out a map.

Out on one street and back on the other.  Boring but there were some interesting sights along the way.  Like this.  At first I thought it was a needle, not an unusual thing to see here but it turned out to be a pen refill.

Than this on a street corner.

It probably fell off a passing vehicle with this stuff which was nearby.

I see lots of these little liquor bottles around town.

This was a nice and shady tunnel.

This was in front of a welding supply place.

As you can see, this is the industrial part of town.

Near the end of 3rd we saw this.  Shelley suggested that it be titles “Do not leave your luggage unattended.”

A big car wash.

6th and Main.

Don’t need this with our current weather.

Looking east on 6th.

UPS has taken over this piece of property that used to be a steel manufacturing outfit building storage tanks and such.

The results.
