Beeswax Creek comes in from the left to join the Coosa River, June 2026.
The road from the parking lot/boat launch to the point is paved but closed to cars, flat, mostly straight, and shaded. Mentally excellent. Superior strolling characteristics. Physically, my joints remind me that I don’t see tarmac much these days.
Took trail loop on last half mile for variety. Surprisingly hotter on path. Close? I had to slow down to watch my footing? Small twiddle at end to complete mileage. I thought about just letting it go at 2.9 miles. But. Well.

Other Activities & Overall Health
Swim, yes. Not often, but did occur.
Biking, no. Wrist ready. Did not have suitable day. Why wrist for biking? That’s the hand that operates the brake. [Doctor’s Appointment, Wrist Update]
Middle of the month taken out by suspected diverticulitis flare. Not too bad, but it killed my energy.
Onwards!
