[NAGDU] Finding good walks - was Anniversary (LONG)

[David]

You're right, Tracy.  I meant to respond to Dan, but life gets in the 
way.  I look forward to seeing him again in Orlando in a couple of days.

The same old thing does indeed get tiring and our pups get bored to 
tears.  I loop around my subdivision streets to add distance and don't 
get over to the wonderful areas where all the wildlife is at the end of 
our trail in the Summer, because it is just too darn hot.  In Winter 
that makes a nice four mile loop and lots of activity as there are 
people fishing, lots of bicyclists, ball players and birds.  I am lucky 
to live about a quarter of mile from the trail and a city recreation 
center.  Much of the trail is shaded and we walk almost fifty percent of 
the way in shade.  We are about eight tenths of a mile from a place 
where I set up a weekly breakfast meeting for folks in our homeowners 
association. Eight o'clock is usually early enough to avoid a lot of the 
heat. In the Summer, we accept a ride home.

'No easy answers, I'm afraid.
