I wanted to do around 8 miles and I’m running out of neighborhoods where I can get that kind of mileage in so I drove out to the west side of the Yellowstone Country Club and parked across the way in “Falcon Ridge Estates.” There is a small piece of country club streets that I needed to get so I did those first. Then I crossed 62nd Street West into the new(er) subdivisions of Falcon Heights and Copper Ridge. There is a sameness to the homes here and coupled with winding streets, a map is definitely a requirement.
I got an early start.
The country club homes that back up to 62nd Street aren’t that fancy.
But a few new ones are or are going to be.
The other street, Spaulding, has some really big homes and they back up to the golf course.
This place has a few gable ends.
Across to the next subdivision I went.
One thing I did notice was that many of the places on the southern half of the subdivision are duplexes.
They have some green space walkways.
I wonder what these cost. I’d like one on my street.
Even in upscale neighborhoods, people park on the grass.
In Copper Ridge, there is a bit more diversity to the architecture.
They have a nice playground and park.
That berm in back, between those houses, is a train track. A coal train goes through there on occasion. I was running at Phipps Park (up on those rims) and looked down on the train going by at about 5:45am. A nice alarm clock.
I finished up a bit short of the predicted 8 miles but it was close enough.
