March Sunday On Centennial Trail

The 10 day forecast for the greater Snohomish area was rain, rain and then ... more rain. Since that was the forecast yesterday, the sun came out today. This morning it was ... is the sun going to come out today. About noon, it looked good enough for the wonder dog and I to head out. We thought about getting on Centennial Trail somewhere around the Granite Falls trailhead. There was still significant gray in the sky, we bailed out at the Snohomish trailhead.


We started off at the very beginning of the trail and had barely gone 1/2 a mile before we saw deer in the houses below the trail. This part of the trail has a nice little 20 or 30 foot ledge to some houses below. There were four deer in total, with two of them fawns. One of the fawns was prancing around with ... what I can only imagine as ... their version of the snoopy dance. My camera sucks, will be upgrading soon. Something just below the SLR range for this go around.


Just a little farther down, about 1.25 miles into the trail. Bogie had a shy little buddy come along. A very funny and quite agile guy would come right up to bogie from behind and then immediately back away about 10 feet. This was very amusing to watch.



We got down to about the 3 mile mark and noticed a few places to take some pictures of the Snohomish river. It is up quite a bit but nothing too alarming yet.


Here we are at the three mile marker and we reached it so quickly, I had not realized it. I have a ton of stuff to get done at the casa, so decided to head back. Then the sun came out and it was magnificent. So I stopped by Albertsons for some Henry Weinhard Belgium Style Wheat Ale. Felt really good at the house, apologized to the wonder dog and went for a quick 3 mile jog by myself.



Then hit up the Wii, I’m almost to my 2 week goal. I might be able to hit sub-200 by the end of April. I’m even no longer considered Obese by my Wii. I’m just overweight. My idea weight is 7 pounds under my wrestling weight in high school. Haven’t seen that weight since the Bangles still had hit on the charts.
