Lovely Spring Day on the Blackwater Trail

Lynchburg artist Annette Marcuson and I did the Blackwater Trail greenway walk today and I was vividly reminded what a lovely piece of urban engineering it is. The trail ambles alongside downtown Lynchburg, but is shielded by a steep slope and a lot of vegetation as it hangs close to Blackwater Creek, which feeds into the James River at Parcival Island.

It's a good bike ride and a great walk. The walk is made even better with a leisurely stop at the Depot Grill, which featured filet mignon/poppyseed soup today, one of the best beef soups I've ever tasted. We sat leisurely with the soup, thoroughly enjoying each other and capping a completely satisfying day.

Nice. Very, very nice.
