Zigging and zagging

I've thrown strategy to the wind for now. And I'm okay with that, because the small dog and I are getting a lot accomplished.

We went down to Van Horn Park again this afternoon, and I was hoping to get a full two hours of walking in with Kael. By the time we got home, we'd been out for three hours and 15 minutes...which means we did about nine miles.

We entered Van Horn through its Liberty Street entrance and ended up near the Armory Street entrance. We crossed Armory and started working out way down Chapin Terrace. We turned right onto Colfax and followed its curve around to one end of Melha. When Melha and Chapin met, we turned right and then right again onto one end of Knollwood. At the end of Knollwood, we turned left onto Cornwall, and then left onto Mayfair. When Mayfair and Chapin met, we turned right and then right again onto Croyden Terrace. At Croyden's end, we turned left onto Cornwall again and then left onto Lancashire Road. A lot of these streets were marked as private ways.

From there, we turned right onto Chapin again, then down one end of Jardine and back up to Chapin. We passed by an entrance to Baystate Medical Center (more on that place later). We stayed to the right when Chapin Terrace split, turned right onto Marvin and then turned left onto Pratt. At the end of Pratt, we turned left onto Chestnut before turning left to head back up the opposite side of Chapin and finish some of the streets we started.

At the corner of Chapin and Chestnut is the St. Pierre Phaneuf Funeral Chapel. It's a nice looking funeral home.



We followed Jardine up to Prospect and then back to Chapin; we did the same with Lancashire. We followed Mayfair and Knollwood up to Carew and back but didn't finish Melha, because it started to sprinkle. The dark, ominous clouds had been looming all afternoon. The small dog and I took Chapin back up to the park, cut through it and exited out the Penacook side, hitting up Langdon and Leroy before heading back home.

I forget what street this was on, but I saw this van and laughed:



I think it may be an under the radar moving business, but the spray-painted thug near the tail of the van makes it look a little shady.
