Walking the pipeline

[Sir Henry]

I walked the Tolt Pipeline yesterday with a neighbor. I walked ahead to take this picture but other than that we walked side by side except when someone passed us.

Some people were wearing masks but most weren’t. I wear one when I’m going to be inside a store but not outdoors.

The pipe carries water to Seattle and is popular for walking and riding horses. Yes those are road apples.

nice looking place to walk .... the horse apples remind me of Indiana back roads in Amish country ..

Looks like a nice place to bicycle, too. I love getting off pavement and riding gravel and dirt.

She has a lovely smile. Glad it was not covered up by a mask.

I’ve never seen a bear on the trail but hear stories of them every year. I do see bear on my property several times a summer. I posted a picture last year of a momma and two cubs walking past my garage and down the driveway.

No real reason to wear a mask outdoors, unless you are gathering in a group that is constantly close together. Some doctors question whether wearing a mask is more of a liability, for healthy folks, than it helps. Wearing a mask has been shown to reduce O2 levels and increase CO2 levels. This can have negative effects on general health and the immune system.

Wearing one in a store or doctors office makes sense to me, but outdoors, no way.
