Today at which of my regular hiking haunts do you think I found what you see on the left?
The Village Creek Natural Historical Area? Quanah Parker Park? Gateway Park? River Legacy Park? The Tandy Hills? Veterans Park? Oakland Lake Park?
Well, if you guess Oakland Lake Park you would have guessed correctly.
I know for certain this line of pipes is not being buried to carry water to Oakland Lake. I know this because there is no Oakland Lake in Oakland Lake Park, due to the Fort Worth tendency to oddly name things, like for decades there was no square in Sundance Square, until a square was finally built and then oddly named Sundance Square Plaza. which seems sort of redundant.
I digress.
The lake in Oakland Lake Park is called Fosdick Lake.
Is this new line of pipes running to Fosdick Lake part of some part of the Trinity River Vision Boondoggle's plan to clean up the water in Fosdick Lake to turn it into a safe swimming venue? Or perhaps a safe location for Rockin' the Lake Happy Hour Inner Tube Floats?
No, I don't think the Oakland Lake Park neighbors would like having their lake rock with loud inner tubers.
And I don't think there is any part of the Trinity River Vision Boondoggle that has anything to do with cleaning up polluted water.
I just remembered, it has been awhile since I have mentioned the Trinity River Vision Boondoogle. I temporarily forgot the Boondoggle has been renamed the Panther Island Boondoggle.
Has anyone else noticed that "Vision" has been taken out of the Boondoggle..........?

That there is what they call culvert pipe.
Oh well. Keep it between the ditches, Mr. Jones.
