Today we joined friends at the 70th Annual Salmon Barbecue at the Western Dance Center in Spokane Valley.

Today’s Frontrunner walk was through Riverfront Park to take advantage of the shade.

The park was created for Expo ‘74 and many of the park’s landmarks are from the fair.

The Great Northern Clock Tower was preserved when the railroad terminal, built 1902, was demolished to make way for the park.

The Post Street Electric Substation (aka Washington Water Power Building) was built in 1910.

The Childhood Express (aka The Red Flyer slide) was dedicated in 1990 for the Centennial Celebration of Children.

Today we joined a Meetup group for a walk on Harbor Island followed by lunch at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse.

Today’s adventure was a trip to Escondido. Kit Carson Park is home to Queen Califia’s Magical Circle – a collection of sculptures by French-American artist Niki de Saint Phalle.

We are keeping close to the water while the temperatures are up, so today’s Meetup walk was by Mission Bay.

Today we walked with a Meetup group around Bonita Cove and up part of the boardwalk.

I visit this part of Mission Bay very often, so it was a nice change of pace.

We started the day with the San Diego Front Runners’ Pride 5K run.

Then we walked in the parade with Front Runners. Along the route we stopped to stretch and also had several “mini races”.

Tonight we caught most of Sea World’s new drone show from the front porch.

Today we joined a Meetup group for a walk by De Anza Cove and the old De Anza Trailer Park.

Today was “free gelato day!” We got in line just as they opened (11:00 AM) and were served by noon.

We got CA Snapback and Docker Cap on cones – both delicious – and bought a pint of Cyprus (midnight chocolate) to go.

We walked with Frontrunners this morning.

Then did the Habitat for Hunanity Pride Build this afternoon. We were the only two volunteers for that shift.

We rode to Priest Lake with Dan and took a pontoon boat up the thoroughfare to Upper Priest Lake. The weather was great and we practically had the lake to ourselves.

Lower Priest Lake

The Thoroughfare

2.5 mile channel where wakes and waterskiing and prohibited.

It was a beautiful day for our hike in the Bowl and Pitcher Area of Riverside State Park.

We started the day with a Frontrunners walk and helped set up the booth.

We joined the parade and then manned the booth for a shift.

We volunteered for the morning shift for the last day of the Habitat for Humanity Blitz Build. We did mostly odd jobs – cleaning up around the site, cutting boards and taking them where they were needed.

This morning was our first shift at Habitat for Humanity Blitz Build. We started out with a group framing in one duplex.

But there were too many ended people and we up doing drywall in the other duplex.

Today I joined a new hiking group (Outbound Spokane) for their inaugural hike.

Today I stopped by Spokane Art School to view the art work from the Art in the Park plein air festival.
