Our mayor of Nashville, Karl Dean, has promted the Walk 100 Miles Nashville. He hosts several walks and runs (5k, half marathon) in and around Nashville. Today, my daughter and I went on the Geology Walk!
Mayor Karl Dean was present. Normally I wouldn't be overly impressed by this as it is his walk, but he and his family suffered a loss this week. His 2 year old niece died when her father accidentally ran over her in the drive way. How horrific!
This was one of the geologists. She showed that Nashville is actually in a bowl - yikes, like New Orleans? Hope not.
My daughter loves rocks so this was a special treat! She collected rocks all along this walk and filled her back pack.
Here we go, up that big slope!
See all the people in front of us?
And here are all the people behind us.
It was a varied group of ages, babies in carriers, toddlers, young kids, teens, adults, and even elders! It was impressive!
Nashville is mostly limestone! Thus why everything is above ground!
In the middle of winter, when everything is brown and grey, this bright green moss stood out!
Still going up - work those legs!!!
That is the slippery ridge some crossed. We didn't after a young woman slipped and broke her arm.
Still going up to the peak!!
But what goes up....
Must go down, down, down!!!
Me on the mossy rock!
After a long walk, this nature bench was a welcome sight! So exhausted! ha ha ha
It was a little over 2 miles they said, but we went slow with all the up and downs and slippery areas. I've walked 2 miles before and I've walked 5 miles before. It felt the same today on this walk!
