Hi Don,

Thanks for the kind words.  We have a creek that runs more or less North 
to South through the town, and walking paths have been built along a 
good part of that.  Not as diverse as Austin, but it is available.  I 
guess, with my background, I choose to walk the concrete at the airport 
when I feel like I need some exercise. Early in my retirement, some 25 
years ago,  I joined a couple of other "old pilots" and we walked every 
unused runway and taxiway out there.  There was not much traffic to 
cause us concern.

Now, there are two active runways and a lot more traffic, so my walking 
is limited to the old WWII apron area which has a lot of small private 
hangars to break the wind.  I always have a camera around my neck.
