Perimeter trail under a full moon

I decided in the morning to walk a short section of the Perimeter trail after school.  The full moon rose at 5:56pm and I invited Ellen and Susan to join me.  Ellen and Rob showed up and I brought the pack.  We walked 3.12 miles in 1:15 hours.


It was a warm day, reaching the low 60s.  Now all the snow and ice in the streets had melted and dirt roads were wet from the icemelt.  The Perimeter trail was also mostly snow-free so I chose that as the walk.  I wanted to avoid anything higher that would get icy after a refreeze.  This was a good choice

We had an overcast sky for most of the day and I wasn't too sure if we would see the moon rise.  By late afternoon most of the clouds had thinned out except along the eastern horizon.  Sure enough, we didn't even see the moon until 20 minutes later, when it appeared behind the clouds.


Ellen and Rob said the dogs behaved well, staying mostly up front with me.  The pups were busy chasing each other while Zeke and Sweetie stayed behind me.  We never met anyone else so the dogs being off-leash weren't a problem.
