Yes I was a country ranger. I grew up in a small town in PA. Yes. No one walks or runs or bikes. I was fortunate however to grow up on several hundred acres of forest and farm land. The woods provided me with plenty of walking space. I wouldn't want to go back though. I like being able to walk to the library, park and the grocery store. Maybe you could find another walker that could join you?
I think that is a great idea. My husband will walk once and awhile. I also have a friend who lives on a gravel road 3 miles away. Maybe she would be interested. That's a long ways down a road to get there!!!
