Happy Earth Day from Bidwell Park

There is a park four blocks from my house.  It is the 24th largest city park in the US.  It’s got all the parkly things you’d expect like trails and fields and a river.  It’s has special things as well, like a channelized part of the river that serves as Chico’s public pool.  This may sound strange, but in a place that’s over 100 degrees for at least two months out of the year even pre-global warming, a good pool is not a luxury.  And considering how far we are from the beach (192 miles over mountains, I googled it) it’s nice to have a pool within walking distance.  Anyway, Bidwell Park is a one of the best things about Chico, so I decided to give it a little Earth Week love.

Ah, nature

I was wearing a purple shirt, which really confused this guy
