Having sat on my hands all day due to flight schedule reductions in anticipation of Irene, I was open to suggestion. Leaving the airport in the shuttle and seeing a jogger with the driver remarking that it was a popular route and pronouncing it safe, was all I needed. Turned out to be a fine lap. The navigation is easy with left turns (orbiting against opposing traffic) on sidewalk. At 4 miles the perimeter is compact, as far as airports go, and a nearly square footprint. Unfortunately there is nothing to see. The property boundary fence is a 20 foot wall. However, this barrier could be a plus in the winter months as the wind does tend to blow here. There are narrow stretches of packed mulch in unused garden beds between fence and concrete to save the knees. |
