"I have a very busy and energetic dog named Ramsey. His energy levels require daily walks and adventures in nature, which is always a therapeutic and recentering place to be. We are grateful to have access to extensive walking paths and nature trails. The movement and fresh air is one of the best things for maintaining good mental health."

"To restore my body, mind, soul, and creativity, I hike with my husband Bill. We ended 2024 and prepared for 2025 with two hikes in Fort Davis State Park. The joy, you see, is in being with my husband in nature and completing 9 miles to reach the highest peak. John Muir, the explorer and conservationist, sums up my experiences with walking and hiking. He wrote, 'I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.'"
