| Brrr I'm heading back to the warm indoors now... |
 |
| We came upon several surprising things on our walk, such as like this Quarry Pond! |
 |
| And Rock climbing wall! |
 |
| This isle is littered with so many relics from the past... |
 |
| We walked out a bit on this narrow ledge but decided to turn back once we noticed it only led to the other side of the river. |
 |
| A very old and damaged water grate from the old Hydro Plant that use to be here. |
 |
| Under the bridge we found this dirt bike riding area made specifically for the sport... |
 |
| This old building housed all the toxic, flammable chemicals that were used by the Old Dominion Iron & Steel Company |
 |
| This fun building is the historic education centre! |
 |
| We've come full circle now and are heading back over the footbridge. |
 |
| I really enjoyed seeing all the old relics from the past, like this old train bridge. |
 |
| And this old covered area from back when Old Dominion Iron & Steel was still operating their factory here! |
 |
| The change of season is in the air this fall morning. Temps were very pleasant and motivated us to take a walking tour of a local historic island. |
 |
| This suspension footpath is just one way to access this local island. What I loved about this path was the scenic view of not only the James river, which flows below but the view of the city... |
