Virtual Sightseeing while getting in some walking 

Walk Nebraska

Nebraska has Virtual Walking trails in each of the regions of Nebraska. The trails range in size from 263 Miles to 600 miles. The Extention Service has a map and details of each of the trails. This is the most unique inspiration to walk that I have ever seen. It also allows you to "View Nebraska" with every mile you walk. So, you can be walking in Ohio, and still "discover Nebraska". You have to check this out. I'm starting tomorrow!
