4/8/06 - Walk from Waldo to MO River - Part 5/7 (Union Hill to Hospital Hill)

Post by scooterj »

On Saturday I plotted a 14-mile course and walked from Waldo to the Missouri River, snapping numerous pictures along the way.   (Lo-res to conserve memory, so the quality isn't the greatest.)


This 5th batch includes Union Hill and Hospital Hill.


Enjoy!

The skyline, viewed from the 24th/Tracy overpass over US-71...

I had planned to go directly to 18th & Vine from here but I got myself turned around at this intersection and decided I'd be better off backtracking and going a different route than  risk going the wrong way.  I later found out I'd have hit The Paseo, as I intended, if I'd just gone another 1500 feet or so.





24th & Tracy...


Image



24th & Troost...


Image



Troost Ave. overpass over US-71...

Just after I passed those tracks I found a cool looking junkyard around 20th & Troost.   But a trio of junkyard dogs ran me off before I could get a picture.





Next up, the Jazz District...  Continue...
