The San Antonio River, Concepcíon Park Trailhead, The First Walk of 2012

What better place to begin the 2012 walks than at a park named Concepcíon? Both the park and Concepcíon Creek are named after Mission Nuestra Señora de la Purisima Concepción de Acuña, better known in San Antonio simply as Mission Concepcíon, one of the five (counting the Alamo) historic Missions established in the 18th Century along the San Antonio River.
The first week of January is typically the coldest week of the year here, but the latest arctic cold front went well to our east this week. Today was absolutely beautiful with the chill in the breeze offset by the warmth of the South Texas sun, a perfect afternoon for a walk along the river. We will still likely get a fairly cold stretch of weather before winter is over, but not this week.
Your version of these wonderful parks makes me want to go to the park right this minute! You are inspiring me on so many levels that my mind is officially blown.
