Description:

That's right. This is the original The Way of the Kings going from mission to mission. Well, at least it was part of the road. Well at least a mile of it. It traveled from in from in front of the mission, out northward. It stretches from the southern boundary of the park to the northern boundary.

The day was a bit cloudy, going from sunshine to clouds. Our Dad started with us, but the bit of sun on his bald head caused him to turn back after a couple hundred yards. But Thing One and Thing Two continued on. The trail is mostly level, so it is easy walking—a good talking trail. So the time goes quickly until we hit the end of the park. In which case, we see another trail—the Las Zanjas Trail. But that is another story.
