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...
24th & Troost...
Troost Ave. overpass over US-71...
Troost Ave. overpass over the railroad tracks...
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...
