I will be 61 next month, but I am in the best shape of my life. And being a Google Local Guide is helping me reach my fitness goals! Over the last year and a half I’ve increased from walking a max of 1 mile to 9 miles, and use my walks to upload photos along the way! My favorite places to share on Google Maps are the beautiful paths and trails in my town of Mandeville, Louisiana. When I post photos of a serene trail, winding through the woods of the 400 acre Northlake Nature Center, it may encourage some else to try hiking this trail (maybe even a senior like me!) and start them on a whole new path to fitness and health. Or maybe a seasoned cyclist is visiting my town. Now they can use Google Maps to locate the best bike paths in Mandeville! I’ve uploaded a 360 photo of the Tammany Trace, a 31 mile asphalt trail, built over an old railway corridor! I love sharing photos of the paths and trails in my area on Google Maps, because what I’m really sharing is my new found love for fitness and fulfillment. #LetsGuide!

Hey Y’all! Please excuse the edits to my post! I don’t know why but the text portion and several of the photos disappeared on me! Then when I re-uploaded, the captions would disappear! I’ve tried on both my laptop and ipad, so I’m striking a happy medium with less photos and short captions. I’ve even edited my text, so I hope it “sticks”. 
@lynneannec - great post. Short, sweet, and to the point. Tagging @ErmesT here because he loves walking and hiking trails.
Cheers,
Karen
