Roosevelt Island Visit - Bridges and Graffiti

We haven’t been there for quite some time. So Roosevelt Island was on our radar screen to visit during the week. It’s much too crowded on weekends to go anywhere near it. The idea for us is to have a change in scenery, stay as far away from anyone else as is possible, have a bit of exercise, and get in a ride to cool off afterwards. From our northern Virginia location, you need to go all the way down to memorial bridge in Arlington and make a u turn to get back on the GW Parkway. The parking lot was fairly empty when we arrived. We walked across the bridge over the Potomac river and started down a lesser known path. It was a mistake because it was very muddy and the paths were very narrow with brush and fallen trees along the way. The tiny white flower vines were in bloom all around us. We eventually ended up under the route 50 bridge and a lot of graffiti. It was really humid and uncomfortable, so we backtracked and got on to the main pathway that was a bit more manicured. I don’t think we will take this trail again, because there is a much better way to go - for people like us who prefer walking to hiking.
