Purdy's 3rd Anal Blazin' Botanical Beer Stop Trail

It's that time of year again, except Mother Nature forgot to set fire to all the air we breathe.  I suppose "Blazin" is not the best choice of words.  Let's go with "Hot" instead.  (Or if you want it in terms of PMS's salsa, we're going from "ghost pepper" to "jalapeno.")  We've got a forecasted a high of 92 and a 40% chance of a thunderstorm.  If the heat isn't gonna kill you this year, maybe the lightning will.  

There will be a trail.  (Probably just one this year unless I get really ambitious and toss down a Turkey trail.  Don't get your hopes up.)  As promised, there will be a Beer Stop and some kind of music to entertain us.  I'll provide walkers and wheelers with directions. (Even though you should already have a good idea where it is.)  We'll explore the loveliest parts of Botanical Heights, Tiffany, and Shaw neighborhoods. (Body armor recommended, but not required.)  

Circle will be at the intersection of Thurman Avenue and De Tonty Street.  Park on 4100 block of De Tonty Street.
