11/16/13 Dutchess Rail Trail - Gold's Gym entrance

     What a great day for our final walk!!  It was sunny, slightly cool when we started and then warmed up...just beautiful.  And there were 15 of us to enjoy this last walking day.  The majority of the group walked about four miles, some more and some a little less.

     After the walk, the lunch group decided to eat at the bakery at a nearby mall where we'd enjoyed brunch last year.  This involved ten people in five different cars.  When we arrived at the mall, the bakery was closed citing the owners had opened a new tapas restaurant, Tomas, at the mall next door.  Somehow we all managed to get there to enjoy a pleasant and decent lunch.

     The leaves were mostly gone and there wasn't much to take pictures of so there are only a few, not very exciting ones.
