This is something that I've thought about for a while and had the realization that it was something to talk about. Paved walking paths just don't make sense. They are something it does not seem that Mother Nature would approve of. Really the only thing that does make sense is grass, dirt or stones. It is better to connect with than blacktop or concrete. It is also just easier on the joints. Either way it is still better to get out and walk, but when you can make the decision or vote what you want in your community. Keep walking!
