2.8 miles through the John F. Kennedy Memorial Forest in Forest Park. This is a great walk that I used to do almost every day when I lived on Southwood across from the Park in '98--in my lush $400- dollar-a-month-including-utilities apartment, where, if you ran the hair dryer and the coffee maker at the same time, you would blow a fuse. Still, there was the "consoling proximity of millionaires"--and of course, the park.

The last tree--an Osage Orange inside of and tethered to a hollow red oak--was planted in 2004 to commemorate the bicentennial of the Louisiana Purchase.  It commemorates the Osage Indians who were uprooted from their land and then had to "reroot" themselves.
