Walking again

There are extensive 'Rails to Trails' projects in Washington - wonderful walking trails reclaimed from old railroad lines - and we have one in our little valley. Today was a perfect day to explore it, with fall leaves showing their color and rustling beneath our feet. The Snoqualmie River is just to the west of the trail, although there aren't too many points along this stretch where it is visible. Instead there are farms and woods and little streams. If we'd just walked a little further, we would have seen the big bridge over the river - but it is a bit far! Maybe next time. (I know - I always say that...)

And somehow we managed to come up off the trail right close to a great little sandwich shop. How does that always happen?
