Happy Trails

Went to explore the newest (just opened 2 weeks ago) 5-mile stretch of the Anacostia River Trail today, which was very beautiful (see extra photo too). In a few years there will be an off-road bike trail the whole way around the district. It's just a few miles from being complete. Today we did 25 miles, but I'm looking forward to doing the whole thing quite soon, even if I have to go on a couple of roads.

All of this restored our faith in humanity and in the capacity for good governance and environmental stewardship--that was the deliberate plan for the day. Let's see how long that faith lasts.
