Though I&rsquo;ve lived in the area for a few years, I had yet to visit the park and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. I needed to touch grass (even if the grass was mostly mud).</p> <p>Last Saturday was a lovely day, brisk and sunny, and while I might&rsquo;ve been a bit happier with a sweatshirt at least I got to demonstrate my resilience to chill temperatures. (Note that at no point did I consider camping. There is resilience while walking, greeting dogs, and socializing with humans&hellip;and then there is subjecting oneself to a miserable, sleepless night in a tent.)</p>
