North of Plateau, west of Prospect neighborhood/105th St., south of Pike , east of Sunset
Total for today: 19,610 steps and 3:26 time.
These are very nice upper-class neighborhoods, relatively new, with lots of nice yards and flowers at this time of year.

Creekside
BEJEWELED STREET NAMES
Fitting the neighborhood, Rainbow Ridge has a jewel theme going for its street names… Diamond, Amethyst, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise, Onyx, and Jade. And leading in to it from the south is Moonstone Court. ‘The Moonstone’, published in 1868 by Wilkie Collins, is considered to be the first detective novel in the English language.

Hi, Mark. What a great job of walking and cataloging you have accomplished. I am sending your webpage to my out of state friends who will probably never make it here. This is a fun way to show off my town. Thanks for making us look interesting and normal at the same time. Is that politically correct?
See you next month at my cleaning appointment.
