I moved home once more after biking across Canada and living in Montreal for three months. It may have been a freezing winter for everyone else, but for me, I was happy to be home after being gone for seven months. It became a strong motivation for myself to explore my small town; I had lived there most of my life, but there was still so much to explore.
Google maps was a helpful tool I used in seeking out new trails for exploration. I would look closely at the birds-eye view landscape and looking for physical paths to walk or bike. "What's that white thing? I should go find out!" "How do I get down to the river? Oh look, there's a path!" "Hey, there's something that leads down to the lake! I'm going to explore it!" I had lots of free time to seek out and mark these new trails, some that I had no idea existed.
Later in the spring, I attained a job at the New Hazelton Fitness Center A responsibility of this job was to increase awareness of physical activities around the Hazelton area. With the help of some contacts at the Forestry Office, I was able to print a large scale map of all the trails I had been exploring and mapping. My goal was to have people look at this map and think, "Hmm...I didn't know there was a trail there. I should go see where it leads one day." Users of the gym could find an alternative to running or walking on a treadmill and instead, walk a new and green path they had never knew about. It was this kind of excitement I was hoping to capture and encourage around Hazelton.
