Ever Been to Valley View Park??

Labor Day 2009, we started our day Hood Hiking! I noticed the park sign warning..."wild animals?" Could they be talking about our hiking hounds? They are unruly. We started our walk at Valley View Park. This is a park Bruce used to bike through. Below is the entrance and the very nice bike trail.

The Hood Hiking Hounds were ready to roll!

We walked up through the beautiful tree covered neighborhood of Creek North Estates. Properly named because it looked like most all of the homes backed up to a creek.

Soon, this neighborhood started looking real familiar to me. "Bruce, I think this is Chad and Amy's old house."

"No. You're wrong." he stated then trailed off, "Well, maybe. Let me go around to the back...I'll know from the back."

Yep. Sure enough it was our friend's old house. I couldn't believe we didn't realize where we were. That's the thing about Hood Hiking...things look so much different on foot.

The dogs took a little time to give a stone sculptured dog and group of pigs "what for."

We picked up the pace a little after finding these hiking boots in a bulk trash pile.

There were so many pretty yards, but we decided to vote this one our fav.

Here's a house we found for sale...click on the pic to get more details.

We had some thirsty muts and humans after a great morning of hood hiking!!
I'm super excited about next week's hike. It's Bruce and my 6th anniversary so, we've decided to go up to hood hike in the neighborhood of the church where we were married!
