I live close to Dawes too. I would love to get a walking group together there. Does anyone know of an existing group?

Dawes is a wonderful place. You don't even realize how much walking you've done becayse you're too busy looking at beauty around you.

I went there today-Easter . I went with a friend I haven't seen for a while and we walked and talked for a couple of hours. I wished I lived closer and could do that everyday!! Great place and burned lots of those calories. No chocolate easter bunny here!!

My favorite time to visit Dawes is in the spring, when their Japanese garden will have all of the Cherry Blossoms (sakura) in full bloom!! It feels so magical!
