Puget Creek Drainage Park

Today it was sunny, calm winds, and cold. A nice day for a walk, so I first headed to Gog-li-hi-ti and birded all the trails. Then after an early lunch I walked down Ruston Way to Puget Park. It is a well maintained trail up the creek drainage from Ruston Way to Proctor. Interestingly at the top of the park the straight trail that looks like it goes across Proctor St. on the maps actually goes about 80 feet under a bridge on Proctor crossing the gulch, and continues maybe a half mile to a dead end. The trail up to Proctor St. is off to the left, looks like it goes back down the gulch, but really just is a series of stepped switch-backs up to a small playground on Proctor. From there I walked back down 30th to home. None of the areas notable birdy, but a nice day anyway.
