Itinerary:

 

we will meet by the parking lot in Riverside Road, nearby the childrens playground.  we will walk by the river for approximately 1mile+ to Don White memorial park then walk/hike in Don White Park for -+2mile then we head back to the riverside parking lot the same way we took going to Don White.

there is no elevation change in this hike. since there is no elevation change we can walk fast. estimated to be 15 or 20minutes per mile. if some people in the group cannot take the pace i will be happy to slow down a bit as i allotted enough time. just let me know. 

according to research... 

"the most stressful time of the day is during late afternoon, to be exact at rush hour traffic. people who came from work are very eager to go home after a whole day of work." it is suggested by scientists that the best way to reduce daily stress is to avoid the daily traffic, or keep it control as it is unhealthy, both physically and pschologically.

one of the ways suggested by researchers is to take a stroll in the park as a way of avoiding the traffic. it reduces the day long tension from work and relaxes the mind.
