Hike Local

Today was Small Business Saturday, an attempt by a large multinational corporation to get more money into their coffers by promoting small local businesses. But I digress.

Have you tried walking or hiking locally? Even in your own neighborhood? Not every hike need involve topo maps, planning, and driving several hours to the trail head.

A 4 or 5 mile walk around your town or neighborhood can be good exercise and an eye opening experience. Sure, you'll learn how bad drivers really are, but you'll also hear and see things that you may usually miss when you drive by.

For an old man like me, a neighborhood walk is a nice alternative to the treadmill.

Try it.
