Orienteering
Del Webb Trail
A Sidewalk Sail
Dee Hynes, Roving Reporter
Fall breezes have blown our way.
Milk shake thick, leaf laden tree branches un-
dulate as the breeze huffs and puffs, mimicking
a child’s nursery rhyme. The rustle of leaves is a
soft seasonal symphony, a long awaited rhapsody.
Our fall color fashion show has begun. Leaves
of brilliant bursts of orange are ringed with ragged
rust lines. Bold, bright reds create trees of giant
strawberries. As the breeze surfs the tree lines,
hundreds of leaves flee their once secure homes.
Polished avocado Magnolia leaves sit securely on their wooden
posts. They smugly view their brethren who have dropped be-
neath them. As the Magnolia leaves will not offer their leaves to
the season, little do they know of the of the magic carpet ride of
the leaves who skim the air while zipping, swirling and looping
to the ground below.
Their breezy ride is a sidewalk sail.
Enjoy fall walks on the Del Webb sidewalk trail loop. Select
this trail for the beauty of the details. Moderate and long grade
changes and friendly trail users will enhance your journey of
almost four miles.
