My friend Pamela (Random Thoughts) has inspired me, so here I go with 25 places, in no particular order, that I have walked or regularly walk:
1. The small lake 1.5 miles away, spring and fall stopover for migrating warblers and loons, summer site for herons, year round home to kingfishers.
2. Horseshoe Lake a bit further away, where orioles nested last summer.
3. The cemetery nearby -- already wrote about that one.
4. St. Augustine Beach.
5. Chautauqua Institution.
6. The Towpath Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
7. The trail to Mount Pisgah in North Carolina.
8. Graveyard Fields Trail off the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina.
9. Devil's Courthouse Trail near Highlands and Cashiers, North Carolina.
10. The trail to The Rock at Gwynn Valley Camp in Brevard, North Carolina.
11. The Point off Hyde Park south of Chicago.
12. Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan.
13. The Tower Falls and Yellowstone River Trail in Yellowstone National Park.
14. The Jenny Lake Trail in Grand Teton National Park.
15. The Greenstone Ridge Trail on Isle Royale (National Park).

You have walked in some really great places. Have you ever thought about doing one of those three day walks for breast cancer?
I cannot believe all the places you have walked! You put me to shame! Do you listen to music or books when you walk?
Your new journal looks good!! My sister would love to do the 3-day walk with you;)
No books or music. I usually walk in places where I need to be alert to my surroundings. And the 3-day walk sounds like a great goal! But maybe I should start small, with the 5K Race for the Cure in the fall...
You need to add New England in the fall to the list soon! (or spring or summer)
