We did a day trip to Fort Worth, Tx to take a walking tour which started at the stockyards visitor's center reminding me that Ft Worth is called Cowtown by a lot of people. This is a photo album I created from pictures taken along the Volksmarching route. It was great getting outdoor exercise on such a lovely day. I collected a very nice mural for the AVA special events program - Walking America's Murals. Walking part of Trinity Trail system along the Trinity River was very enjoyable. We were entertained along the walk by the people participating in the Mudd Run.
