When not picking fights with the geese, I’ve been observing the gradual construction of the new path around Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis. It’s been a long slow journey, but stabilizing almost three miles of shoreline and a commensurate path is a lot of work.

There’s just a small stretch of path to go and a lot of grass to replace, but it looks like they will make it before the snow starts blowing.

Speaking of construction, the greenway bridge is supposedly done and there is a Grand Opening party this afternoon. I’ll be heading over at 4pm to join in the festivities and hopefully drag home a few pictures for the blog.

The park system here is really impressive, there are trails all over and with the bridge done, you can take a trail by bike or foot from the mighty Mississippi all the way to the lakes. Other trails circle the city and I often bike from Uptown Minneapolis all the way to Downtown St. Paul on trails the whole way. So head out and enjoy the parks. Keep your chin up, enjoy the view, but watch your step, the geese are everywhere.
