Mill Ruins Park Walk

We walked down to Mill Ruins Park this morning.  There are some interesting views of the city from here.

 

You can walk along the river (still park property?) until you get to the gate for the St. Anthony Lock and Dam entrance.  Although there are still walkers and joggers down here it feels a little dicey.  The area needs some work.  I wonder how long the tent up in the cliffs has been there?  There is a pretty good trash heap at the bottom.  It's right in front of the gate so the chances of it being unseen by anyone else is slim.  We picked up a sack of litter and walked back towards home.

I suspect most of the garbage on this end of downtown is coming out of the storm drains.

That's the Stonearch bridge there.  There were plenty of walkers and bikers (no cars) commuting to work across it this morning.

Add our litter contribution to the trash pickup and head back home.
