happy mud trails to you

Last Saturday afternoon was spent mud-trudging through Rock Creek Park. We took a *secret* entrance to one of the trails: straight downhill behind our apartment and apparently right through what looked to be a deserted homeless-person shelter/setup… tarps strung-up on strings and a lean-to, old tires, and other broken things. This was also the site where Matt and I both managed to slip on the same patch of mudslide.
At the base of that hill is the Rock Creek Park Mounted Police training facility, basically a large building and lots of hay and horse-smelly things around. We also found a sign showing where the very first bridge was that crossed the river, though I forgot the date. It’s hard to picture the little structure that must have superceeded the now massive piers of the Taft Bridge. Wandred a bit away from that area, and that is where the photo above was snapped!

I bet that area is beautiful in the spring and summer.
