Hello,
I am glad I found this.
I used to love to walk on mowed trails on private land near me that was allowed.
The owner died, his adult children have taken over and have now prohibited it.
I also walked the Erie Canal trails in NY state.
But recently women have been threatened on those trails by a man. (He is being dealt with by authorities.)
There are other multiple public places to walk. But with the rise in the tick population and possible threat from unsavory characters, I honestly don’t dare walk or hike anywhere outdoors.
I live in a 62 unit apartment building and now walk the halls and climb a lot of stairs indoors.
But it is not the same as walking in nature which I loved to do.

Try walking in England and Scotland. They have specific laws allowing people access to lands as long as you remember to close the gates. There are walking paths everywhere. In Scotland, 100% of the land is owned by some family--that is what I was told.

@misseygirl How terrible to feel that you can’t walk outside because of these characters, but I know exactly what you mean. I walk in neighborhoods and enjoy everyone’s gardens. Is there anyone in your apartment complex you could convince to be your walking partner? That’s what I need! But I walk too slowly or not slow enough. Oh well, guess I’ll just continue my slow, solitary, steps. I love being out so walking by myself isn’t really a problem.
