Walking Alvarado
Today was another opportunity to get the family out on the trail, little red wagon and all. We decided late Sunday to go down to Alvarado. One of the nice things about the trail is that you can access it at so many different places that you don't get bored going from the same spot all the time. Anyway, we parked at Old Alvarado Station and walked/pulled my son in the wagon toward Abingdon. We didn't go too far. A pregnant wife and a toddler aren't exactly the formula for a long distance walk. On the way back, we saw a group that had left from Alvarado and biked nearly to Abingdon as well as several other walkers. From the evidence on the trail, some horseback riders had recently been through as well.

Hi,
Just wanted to comment as I just found your blog and noticed on one of your first entries you wanted to know who was reading this.
I live in Abingdon and during the summer/fall was on the trail mostly running, occasionally walking, around 4-5 times a week. Now it is more like 2 times a week with the cold weather.
Anyway the last time I went out i started at Watagua and went about two miles out before heading back. We encountered a horseback rider and a hiker on the way out. On the way back we passed a runner and another hiker and a couple of ladies who walk their dogs daily from what i've gathered. I'm used to running from the Abingdon trailhead and so it was unusual to see so few people.
I enjoyed reading your blog.
