The daily commute to my part-time radio gig is roughly a 45 minute walk each way.
Here it is in pictures:



The next pic is a beautiful veggie garden beside a house near the golf course. Not sure if you can see it very well behind the barbed-wire fence. While walking home from work, I've seen the odd deer snacking on lettuce and peas :)

I reach this sign about halfway through the golf course. Clearly I've become very good at ignoring it.


There are tons of little quail families running around beside the train tracks and along the golf course. I'll try get a pic of the babies next time - they are the size of my pinky finger and totally adorable.
Once I reach the end of the course, I have to walk down the tracks for about ten minutes. I know most of the train schedules and haven't been squashed yet, knock on wood. It usually takes me 20 minutes to get this far, about halfway to the radio station.

At the end of the tracks, I make a quick left onto this wooden boardwalk that winds through a man-made wetlands area.
There are tons of different birds living here, including a few wild chickens - one of which chased me down last fall. I must have gotten too close to her nest of hidden eggs. Crazy protective chicken.
At the end of the boardwalk I cross this bridge...

... over the creek and end up here at the city park.

It's one of the prettier parks in the Okangan, with a huge playground, tennis courts, a football field, a running track, a skateboard park and a seniors lawn bowling court.




Exiting the park, I hit the downtown area.

I walk past four huge historic murals painted on the concrete city walls...




Turning left at the last mural, I finally cross the street in front of the barber shop - usually jaywalking, but I always look both ways first.

And there it is - my commute to the part-time radio gig.
