We will have lunch at Clyde's Corner, or you can bring a picnic lunch to eat at the park.
After lunch those who are up for walking an additional 5.2 miles will walk north to US Cellular Community Park. (2.6 miles each way) before walking back to Blue Heron Park
Total distance of both parts is 14.8 miles, which is a typical daily distance on the Camino.
