3 + 184

I little while back I wrote a blog about a hill that I would attempt to climb daily...here it is:

The climb takes about 10 minutes with only a brief breather about half way up. Then on the way down you want to break to give your knees a rest from them getting all wobbly. I enjoy the great feeling of accomplishment that comes to me at the top of this hill. I walk around a bit to catch my breath yet again and to look at the city below me.

I don't know if you can see them, but I placed an X on three places. Purple marks the Penny Market where I do most of my grocery shopping. Red marks the church and blue marks my home. You might be able to tell that my home is very close to the church.

The hill was put on hold for a little while because of the snow on top of it which covered the stairs like the whole thing was a slope. It was very dangerous coming down the hill with all the snow on the stairs. This Sunday I checked it out again and the stairs are clear enough to walk up and down them...all 184 of them. The ramps (3) are a bit icy but it's getting better daily. So while those stairs were icy I would walk on a trail...here is a picture. About half of it runs along the river.
