点评:Trail Series, Part 19
“Some days it gets completely crazy, and I feeling like howling at the moon. Then sometimes it feels so easy, like I was born with a silver spoon.
Other times you just can’t reach me, seems like I’ve got a heart of stone. Guess I need my solitude, and I have to make it on my own.
Well I guess I’m going A.W.O.L., disconnect my telephone. Just like Greta Garbo, I want to be alone.”
Van Morrison
If we’re being honest, aren’t there times when we need a moment to unplug from the noise and clatter of this world and just…be? Absolutely nothing demanding our attention except the moment we are living just then.
While there are many ways and places you can foster this kind of personal retreat, one of them can be found along the “Batiquitos Lagoon Trail” in Carlsbad, California.
I counted no less than 34 unique benches along the length of this approximately 1.5 mile trail, and all of them beckon you to sit awhile…and just listen. To the birds, to the sound of the breeze rustling through the leaves on the trees, or maybe just to the sound of your own breathing.
While walkers, runners, and leashed dogs are all welcomed on this trail, bicycles are not.
For those interested, a clearly posted QR code provides access to a self-guided tour and a Nature Center is free and open to the public on the West end of the trail.
All 3 entrances to this trail can be found along Batiquitos Drive and each feature a convenient parking lot.
The trail is nearly entirely unpaved, so your enjoyment of it will be reduced if you access it after it has rained.
And that’s…Henry’s Take.

“有时候,它变得完全疯狂,我感觉就像对着月亮嚎叫。有时感觉很轻松,就像含着金汤匙出生一样。
有时你就是无法联系到我,看来我的心是铁石心肠的。我想我需要独处,而且我必须靠自己做到这一点。
好吧,我想我要擅离职守了,挂掉我的电话。就像葛丽泰·嘉宝一样,我想一个人呆着。”
范·莫里森
如果我们说实话,是不是有时我们需要一些时间来摆脱这个世界的喧嚣和喧嚣,只是……存在?除了我们现在所生活的那一刻之外,绝对没有什么需要我们注意的。
虽然有很多方法和地方可以促进这种个人静修,其中之一可以在加利福尼亚州卡尔斯巴德的“Batiquitos Lagoon Trail”沿线找到。
我数了数,这条约 1.5 英里长的小道上有不少于 34 个独特的长椅,所有这些长椅都在招呼您坐下来……静静地聆听。鸟儿的声音,微风吹过树叶的沙沙声,或者只是你自己的呼吸声。
虽然这条步道欢迎步行者、跑步者和拴着的狗,但自行车却不行。
对于感兴趣的人,可以通过清晰张贴的二维码进行自助游览,步道西端的自然中心免费向公众开放。
这条步道的所有 3 个入口均位于 Batiquitos Drive 沿线,每个入口均设有便利的停车场。
这条步道几乎完全没有铺砌,所以如果你在下雨后进入它,你的乐趣就会减少。
这就是……亨利的观点。
