I live in the country, next to a large suburb. I don't get out in the woods as often as I want, but I DO go walking almost every day. There is a trail thru a wooded area in Maple Grove, MN. It wanders around a lake, thru an arboretum, and is paved. I put in about 7 miles daily on these trails. Walking allows me to see things I'd miss on a bicycle and of course the exercise is great. (Going to lose that last 15 pounds!). Enjoy the pics...all taken from my cell phone!

EWOK is almost always with me. Pocket scandi in little pack.
 
The Boss and I do 2-6 miles each day, depending on how hot it is. We have several preserves within a couple of miles with nice trails in them. I`m down almost 40 pounds from this time last year.

Kudos to you both! I feel just as good as I did when I used to run and I see so much more. :thumbup:
 
Hi Rockywolf -

Your phone does pretty good with the pictures!

I love Mn - we used to go up to the Leach Lake area fishing for a week each year (before the fellows all got married ;) ).

I also really like trees - I have a smallish property, but I have loaded it down with trees over the years, so my yard is more like a park than just a yard in a neighborhood.

Thanks for the pictures - now I have to go mow my yard....

best regards -

Yummy, do you play in this regularly? lol, i wish i had places like that around me to walk in. My uncle does around his house in New Jersey.
 
I walk here at least 5 days a week. Right across from those sumac is a row of townhomes.
 
I like the picture of the waterfall. Reminds me of the last vacation I went on. :thumbup:
 
Thanks for the inspiration. I've been walking more lately.
After having my truck burglarized a few years ago, I've been really scared to leave it for very long. I'm getting better and feeling better with the exercise.

You're welcome. The days I don't walk, I feel crappy. Walking is one of the things you can do until old age. A good habit to form. Sorry about the truck theft. I HATE thieves.
 
I just got back from a short, probably 3 mile, walk. I'm in Denver and the altitude really gets to me quickly here.
On the way back it was almost totally dark but for the moon (which is magnificent tonight) and as I took a step a snake slithered across where I was putting my foot down.:eek:
It was just a little guy and he was too fast to see what type he was. My heart should start beating again soon.:o
 
Excellent pics Rockywolf. Thank you for sharing. Reminds me to get my rear out again, hopefully this weekend.
