For people, not necessarily old, who want to take some scenic walks on Long Island. Maybe bring the dog. Maybe stop and take a picture or two. Maybe look at a park bench and say "This has my name on it." This started as a germ of an idea days ago, and I have to admit that I'm blown away by the response. I've lived on the  Island 23 years now, and I think I can find any number of fun, safe places for leisurely recreation. Thanks!
