     Shortly after making the turn to the south, the cycling path runs 
alongside the Kyrene Canal, which was one an irrigation lateral for citrus 
orchards:

     When the path crosses from Tempe to Chandler, the landscaping makes an 
abrupt change for the worse:

though the path itself is beneath somewhat mature trees, which is sometimes a 
relief, such as in the summer:

     This couple can be seen almost every morning:

she is not entirely wheelchair-bound, and will try walking as much as a hundred 
feet from time to time.

     About a half mile from the street crossing there is a narrow bridge that 
once provided access to an irrigation gate seen on the left side:

I doubt that the gtate has been excercised at all in the last 2-3 decades as 
the area to the east (left) is now nothing but a bedroom community with a few 
semi-agricultural lots having pet horses that probably never see a saddle in 
their entire lives.

     Passing through the narrow opening in the wall leads to Carter Street:
