The Durant Trails Greenway is 1.1 miles of paved trail that runs along a small stream through several neighborhoods in North Raleigh, behind Durant Road Middle School, and along the northern edge of Durant Nature Park. We walked the trail and then re-traced our steps back to the car for a total of 2.2 miles. Compared to the other Greenways we've been on so far, this trail was a lot more open to the neighborhoods it runs through and many backyards opened directly out onto the trail. There was also a lot more foot traffic on the trail than we had seen on the other Greenways we've been on, but it could have been because we were out a little earlier in the morning too. I picked this trail because it's closer to our house than a lot of others and it's relatively short, and since we had some friends coming to play at 10am we didn't have a whole lot of time. Once we had reached the end of the trail and started on our way back I was worried we would be late, so I made the boys hustle a little. They were not happy! Greenways are definitely more fun when you aren't limited by time!
Nathan: Durant Trail was in a neighborhood. It was also in the woods. While we were walking we came to a creek called Hidden Creek. For the past two summers I went to a camp called Ranoca, and we used to go to Hidden Creek to swim. It brought back a lot of good memories. I remember when my friends and I found a giant frock and we threw rocks at it and tried to make them bounce. Also at Camp Ranoca there was a HUGE lake choc-full of turtles and fish.
Today when we were walking we was a pile of rocks in the water. I jumped on them and then onto the other bank and walked down the trail on the other side. Then there was one huge rock. I jumped on that and crossed back to the original trail. After that my mom made us run for forty-five seconds, and then she said it was only 30 seconds. Then we left. When we got home I tried my new red E175 electric scooter. It goes 10 mph. I love today. Bye.
Noah: Today we went on a Greenway. It was in a neighborhood. We saw lots of dogs. We crossed the stream and saw MP3 ear plugs. Then we crossed the river again and walked some more. My mom said to run for 30 seconds. Trust me, it's hard! We walked back. I had fun walking.
