Do you know how many pictures I can get on a pair of AA batteries when it’s 34 degrees out? I found out that it’s about 25. That’s okay, because the distance views I was hoping to get were just mist, anyhow.

But we’ve got a new trail, or, at least, part of one. It’s not officially open yet, but it’ll be the “Milton Interurban Trail.” I posted some pics from the (as yet) still unpaved section farther north back this summer.

You’d never know how close to the freeway this is.

Tacoma’s Stadium District had a few shots, at least. Stadium High got famous in a movie when I was in high school, I guess. It’s a pretty impressive building, especially for a public high school. Word was, it was going to be a fancy hotel in the 19th century, but the original builders ran out of cash and sold it to the city…

If you like cobbles, you’ll like a lot of Old Town Tacoma. They pave over some of these, fix others, and just plain leave some. For a long, long time. Here’s “court C,” just past stadium:
