I just came upon this and needed the extra motivation. I live part of the year in Asheville, on top of a small mountain, with great views and air freshened by contiguous national forests. Have been meaning to walk a lot, but intention and reality somehow didn't meet up. But this will motivate me. We do have a black bear in the neighborhood so motivation might take place a tad further from home. I've yet to explore other historic neighborhoods but this gives me a plan!
