Ok – I am totally addicted to letterboxing and geocaching. If you are looking for a treasure hunt,
I’ve got a letterbox hidden at Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, Michigan. Meadow Brook is also available as a Spectacular Stroll and is an absolutely beautiful place for a walk. Check out letterboxing.org and Matilda’s Ride.
If you haven’t been to Detroit’s new Riverwalk – you are missing something truly amazing. This summer, a food concession stand opened up near the carousel and bike rentals are available. The Riverwalk Conservancy has done a terrific job adding flowers and foliage to the walk, which delivers a glorious view of the Detroit River. It also gives spectacular strollers a safe and informative view of the city and surrounding areas through some wonderful sculptural maps. It’s also a good site for geocachers — you know who you are.
Next up for strollers – the Dequindre Cut, a rails-to-trails pathway connecting the Riverwalk to Eastern Market. Grand opening is scheduled for this fall.

The ladies of Shepard Brothers enjoyed a Spectacular Stroll in Pasadena recently. The neighborhood walk, which began at the fabulous Langham Huntington Hotel, traversed through tree-shaded streets filled with beautiful homes. Visit the Pasadena Convention and Visitor Bureau Web site – just Google it – for a free walking tour map.
The new DIA in Detroit is wonderful! I advise visitors to get there early — they open at 10 a.m. — to find ample parking and beat the crowds anxious to see the newly expanded art museum. My favorite gallery is the Diego Rivera mural Garden Court, but check out the exhibits in the new wings and the “virtual dining” experience on the third floor.

Our Corktown stroll includes an up-close view of Detroit’s abandoned train station. It’s beautiful and sad, a bit like a Roman ruin.

This is me, my husband Randy and our grandson Will on the Woodward Avenue walk in Detroit between Campus Martius and Hart Plaza. Will lives in Seattle with his mom, dad and brother Hugh. He had a spectacular stroller ride.
