August 8 Walk at Murphy

Walk Highlights & Key Details

​

Retirement Milestone: The speaker is taking their very first walk roughly 12 hours into retirement, adjusting to their new schedule and setting up Google Calendar to track daily activities.

​

Location & Conditions: 

Walking at Murphy-Hanrehan Park on a sunny, 67°F Saturday morning. Notable for its surprisingly light trail traffic and nearby horseback riders.

​

Past Memories: Reflecting on getting lost in the park's prairie section over a decade ago (before getting married) and joking about needing a helicopter rescue.

​

Park Scope: Re-realizing just how large the park's acreage actually is while enjoying the quiet outdoor sounds.
