Run 169 - North and east of Primrose Park in the Heights

April 30, 2024

It was a beautiful morning after a light rain over night.  Shelley and I met up at Primrose Park at 6 am to work on this map:


Here’s one photos I shot along the way, not necessarily in the order I shot them.

Primrose Park.


On Cottonwood.

The daily newspaper.  It looks like it’s about 8 pages of its former self.


I noticed that the homes on Competition Ave. share driveways.  I guess the competition is for who gets to park where.


I found a quarter.

Looking east on Hawthorne from near Anchor.


There’s a nice park buried in this neighborhood, Walden Grove Park, at the corner of Cottonwood and Hemingway.  Walden Grove is the name of the development.


Looking into the park from the south.  It interrupts Cottonwood Blvd.


I found a penny.  Shelley found a quarter.  This neighborhood must be upscale to be throwing money away.


The is on Ping Circle.  It looks like homes built by Habitat for Humanity.




A ditch on Wilma Drive.

There are new construction on Wicks just west of Hawthorne.  We peeked ina window and they are pretty small inside.


The north end of Reece Drive.


Shelley had to go to work so I did the mile alone.  Here I am on Yellowstone River Road.



This is a big house.






Erin Lane is only 100 feet long.  It’s across from Primrose Park on its east side.



Wild life.

On Columbine in the east side of Primrose Park.


Some signage in the park.




A nice run and my last one for a few weeks as I’m heading out tomorrow on a road trip.  Here are the stats for today.

Run 168 - The Heights above Two Moon Park

April 29, 2024

A beautiful Monday morning run with no wind and temperature in the mid-40s.  It was time to get a few more streets in the Heights checked off so I started at Primrose Park, a nice, neighborhood park with playground and a large, well-maintained green space.




The route kept me a few blocks to the north of Yellowstone River Road where it travels above Two Moon Park.


The streets are really quiet as most people are at work by now.


The find of the day, a 9mm, socket that is.


From the north end of Linden looking south.


On Yellowstone River Road.



No sidewalks on Yellowstone River Road.


But there is a path on the berm.


The south end of Cottonwood looking north.  The bike path is on the left.


The east end of Eldora looking west.


Kenneth and Dorothy.  They make a nice couple.





Yellowstone River Road near the Bench roundabout.  It says coffee and brewery.  Something tells me it refers to “brewing” coffee.


The Bench roundabout.


No shortcuts.


There 4 of these out-and-back streets that go through a mobile home park.


Kelly Lane.

Does this apply to e-bikes too?


A shortcut across the ditch at the east end of Dorothy.



Looking down on Two Moon Park.


With no sidewalk along Yellowstone River ROad, I opted for the sort of trail on top of the berm.



A nice run and some nice scenery.








Some final thoughts
