I did it! My Walk Brighton Project is complete. I walked all of the streets over a mile radius from my home. Of course, I will still walk in my town but my focus of exploring and documenting areas new to me in this town is over for now. I am still in awe of what I was able to experience by walking from my home.

Highlights:

• Watching flowers and trees bloom.
• The “hunt” of never knowing what I would find.
• “Smile” spelled in Daffodils and Tulips in front of a dentist office.
• Discovered a path near my place that I was not previously aware. It will make it easier to get to some beautiful areas when there is a lot of traffic again.
• The many paper rainbows and hearts attached to doors and windows.

Details:

• Completed between March 27 to May 5, 2020.
• I walked to each of the locations from my home.
• I called it the Walk Brighton Project but some streets in my radius were in The City of Rochester and Pittsford.
• If a road was marked private, I did not walk it.
• I focused on walking residential streets.
• My longest walk was around 5 miles round trip. Some walks were around 4 miles.
• I am not afraid of walking in cold, rain, or snow. I encountered very few people during these walks.
