The 20th Wednesday hike with my work friends has come and gone. The hike was a bit shorter this week since I was trying to juggle some trip-related preparation (Europe), but to be honest for a short hike it seemed long. We started at Willows Beach, headed to Cattle Point, and then went into Uplands park, all on a great fall evening.

Willows was much quieter than a couple months ago since the sun bathers have departed, now it’s just peeps and their dogs. Cattle Point doesn’t cover much real-estate, but is a nice little spot just north of Willows Beach. Since I’m easily amused by wildlife, I am happy to report that this was the money spot for this hike – seagulls galore, a couple seals, some black birds with red beaks, and a hawk or falcon of some sort. Uplands Park is surprisingly large and was a nice finish to the hike, with mostly flat and wide trails.
