Come join us for the third walk of the WABI Weekday Walkers, on the third Wednesday of the month, October 16, at 9 am. This is a beautiful walk through the woods from the north end of the Des Moines Creek trail. We should see some fall color in the maples along the creek. The trail down to the water is about 2 miles, all paved and with a mild slope. You can tackle the whole four mile round trip or turn around sooner if you wish.
Date: Wednesday, October 16, 2013
Time: Meet by 8:45 am in order to leave promptly on walk at 9:00 am.
Meeting Place: Meet at fenced parking lot at South 200th Street and 20th Avenue South, between International Blvd. on the east and Des Moines Memorial Drive on the west. The parking lot is not well marked but is at the bottom of the dip in the road, and across from the back end of the Tyee Golf Course.
Transit: Rt. 156 stops at Des Moines Memorial Drive and S. 200th, about a half mile walk from meeting place.
Fun facts: The trail starts in the City of SeaTac and ends in City of Des Moines. The trail’s end by the Des Moines Marina is the site of an National Historic landmark, recognized for its rustic buildings and history as Covenant Beach Bible Camp. The buildings are being restored to their Swedish architectural heritage.
