Waning Days Of Fall On Cliff Drive

 The waterfall (Carl DiCapo Fountain ) is off for the winter now and most of the leaves are gone.

Indian Mound Trail - Maple Grove

The Indian Mound Trail runs along the bluffs below Gladstone Boulevard between Elmwood and North White...almost all the way to Indian Mound.  It is a fairly easy trail with nine springs along the way.  Maple Grove is below Gladstone at roughly Hardesty... it is all maples and quite beautiful each Fall.

Cliffhanger Run 5K And 10K

 The Cliffhanger 5k and 10k for 2019 races start and finish line in front of The Colonnade in Historic Northeast KC.  The route went along Cliff Drive and up Gladstone Boulevard.  The race is put on by the Kansas City Running Club and is a benefit for Northeast Neighbor to Neighbor  ( nnncares.org ).

The Drive was lovely this time of year. 

 Chicken and Road.... do your own joke. :)

Forest Hill

 Forest Hill Cemetery is located at 71st and Troost.  Established in 1888, the land is notable for the location of another Civil War Battle Field as the Confederate troops fled south from Westport.

                                              Hyperblogal has family here in several locations.

 Many famous Kansas City residents  are buried here including Satchel Paige, below.
