This is a photo of the Washington Street bridge and the Brandywine Creek in downtown Wilmington Delaware. I went down to the creek to shoot a youtube video, and I was successful in that but I did realize that I cannot just go and wing these walk and talks. I need to come up with a plan and then execute it I only managed to get a 2:45 video out of a hour long walk and at least 20 mins of raw footage. I am starting to get better at the filming portion of the skill but I still need to pause more between expressed ideas I talk at about the right speed maybe I could get a hair faster, but I need to figure out how to have a coherent topic and perhaps even a structure to the discussion. Hopefully, by this time next year an hour long walk will make at least a ten minute video.

I went on a walk on the Fourth of July, along the old creek road which I got to from the Rocky Run gate to Brandywine State park. This a good gate since it drops you off at the top of the valley and if you follow the path to the brandywine river you are roughly in the middle of the path along the river. if you turn right you have about a mile walk to the smith bridge parking lot and a walkway under Smith bridge road and onto the woodlawn property. As this all gets absorbed into the First State National Park hopefully there will be more money for trail development. You can easily put together walks of three miles to a dozen miles on the combined trails that make up Brandywine creek and Woodlawn. We got out early enough in the day that it wasn't oppressively hot but the grade at the beginning and end made it a bit of a slog.
