Whew! Who Knew There Was So Much To See In Anderson? Not Me!

I spent all day running around Anderson, with pointers from several local fingers along the way!  I found myself ditzing through the Anderson River Park again, mostly because the local park is usually a chance to get a look at the local people and get a feel for the local "personality" as well.  As a first impression, I want to see things the way a tourist might first get a glimpse too, so I find myself hovering and poking around in populous spots first, to the good stuff later!! :)

I spoke with a couple of Anderson's Finest along the way here and there, they were very nice and also helpful in pointing out some local sites.  I ran into a group of young men that I was curiously watching throw a "disc", (apparently the other name for them is a registered TM that starts with an F and you should not use it when speaking about this sport!) towards a strange looking orange chain pole thing and I discovered a new sport called Disc Golf! (I say "I" discovered in the sense that I have just pulled my head out of the sand for a moment type of way!) Wow, this was super cool AND these guys were having a blast!  They tell me it is quite popular and that there are several courses around Redding and surrounding areas too!  Tournaments and all!  Geesh, splat, pathooy,pthu, there, I think I got most of the sand outta my mouth!  :)

Anyway, they sure looked jazzed when "John" here:
Made a hole in one!  To wit is a picture here!

So I guess I should get out more often!!
