Today's third walk of the challenge was also close to home. The Wiley Preserve trail starts out near the Coolbaugh Township Public Works Department. Today was one of the free drop off days this summer, and we dropped off our old carpet scraps and completed our walk while we were there. Another benefit for township residents is free mulch, so we may be combining a short walk with picking up mulch in the future.
The trail, a boy scout project, is about a half a mile long, so our walk was .92 miles according to my MapMyWalk app. For about two-thirds of the way the trail is fine gravel, and we walked that part at a much brisker pace today than the first couple of walks. The trail transitions to a rocky path through the woods at a grove of Russian Spruce trees and a view of the swamp or pond seen in the photo. The plan we are following suggests alternating the walks between a moderate and a faster pace in twenty minute walks. I think we will also be working towards longer hike/walks.
