Hey there, just wanted to send a quick note back about the weekend plan. I looked into the trail conditions near the north ridge and it seems like the path is clear enough for a moderate walk, though there might be a few damp spots after the rain on Thursday. I was thinking we could start around nine in the morning and take the loop that passes by the old stone wall, which should give us enough time to grab lunch at that small cafe by the river. If you are still deciding on what to bring, I would suggest a light jacket and maybe an extra pair of socks since the morning air can be a bit cool before the sun gets higher. We can also adjust the route if you want something shorter or more shaded. Let me know what works on your end and if you prefer Saturday or Sunday instead. I am open to either day and can drive if that makes things easier for you. No rush on a reply, just wanted to share the details while they were fresh. Talk soon.

So I was thinking about the parking situation for next weekend and wanted to bounce a couple of ideas off you. There is a public lot on Cedar that charges a flat rate for the whole day, but it tends to fill up by mid-morning, which might be an issue if we get a later start. The other option is the garage near the old theater, which is a bit more expensive but has plenty of spaces and is only a few blocks from where we want to be. I also heard from a neighbor that there is some kind of street fair happening on Saturday, so a few of the smaller side streets might be closed off. That could change the whole plan if we are not careful. I figure we could meet a little earlier and grab coffee before heading over, then walk the rest of the way. Alternatively, we could take the bus from the transit center and avoid the car altogether, which honestly sounds less stressful given the road closures. I am fine with either approach, just let me know your thoughts when you have a second. I will check the route again on Thursday afternoon in case anything shifts with the event schedule.
