I have hiked the westernmost part of the High Line Canal Trail many times (see here for previous post). Today’s hike began around sunrise and ended by 9 AM before it got too hot out. Along the way… well, a picture’s worth a thousand words, so they say. Here’s a couple-thousand-worth for your viewing pleasure, along with a few stats: The High Line Canal Trail by the numbers.

A guy out walking his Labradoodle told me he saw a pack of 4 coyotes that looked like they were hunting, and his dog went ballistic when they started circling, so he turned back toward the trail head. Me, I got no doodle – labra or otherwise – so I kept on going. Final tally: 7 miles, 14,000 steps, and none the worse for wear. No word on what kind of luck the coyotes had. But stay tuned for details on your late local news at 11. For us, this is just fun and games. But for them, it’s a full time job.
9 padlocks: Someone who can’t bear to throw anything away and too lazy to have a yard sale was cleaning out his/her shop room/utility drawer? Charm bracelet fence chain.
9 different people need to go through the gate. Each has a key to their lock. Eliminates the need for cutting 8 keys for the other guys.
Yep. We have a gate set up like this down in Teller County for access to some land we own.
