Trail Tales: Who still uses a tape deck on their run?





On my run this morning I nearly stumbled upon a tape.  What's that?  {some younger readers might ask.}  It was the pre-cursor to the compact disc.  I run this trail three times weekly.  And I have NEVER seen this fossil prior to this run.  I can only deduce that someone went running with a tape deck within the last two days!  Then they became restless with the Maggie May tape by Rod Stewart, and changed tapes mid jog.  I can only fill in the blanks at this point, but I have to think some sort of fanny pack was involved to enable such a switch.  In all probability the tape in question, wasn't zipped in securely-thus dropping to the trail's unforgiving dirt.
