The trails in Warren G. Magnuson Park are frequented and beloved by locals, but are often overlooked by those just passing through Seattle. The Frog Pond Trail is a series of paths that are part of a wetland reconstruction project that seeks to restore parts of the former military base. They feature ducks, ponds, well-maintained gravel, and a welcome stillness within what is normally a chaotic area. Three of these trails, described below, make up the possible outings at Magnuson Park.
- My Gold Prospecting and Mining Pages (mdpub.com)
One of my many hobbies is recreational gold prospecting and mining. I’ve been gold panning, metal detecting and sluicing on my vacations for many years. It’s a lot of fun. It’s great exercise. I get to do it in really scenic locations, outside in the fresh air and sunshine. I have even found some gold. This page links to accounts of my various adventures in pursuit of the shiny yellow stuff. More will be added in the future.
