Once the snow melts, there are several people, mostly women, that walk by my house every day. We live in a subdivision, and they tend to walk the same route, every day, year after year. It amazes me. The same two or three miles, every day.
I walk often, almost NEVER in the subdivision. With in a five minute drive there are several old forest roads closed to all motor vehicles and one state park with about 20 miles of trails.
One 3 mile section of closed road follows a river and I never fail to see all sorts of wildlife and birds, from Bald Eagles to finches. It's one of the most beautiful walks any where. The state park has trails that run along two different rivers and there's a water fall. If one is really into a good strenuous walk, there are several small buttes.
With all this beauty a mere five minutes away, why would some one choose to walk daily in a subdivision with cars, trucks, dogs and dust? I don't get it!
