gan walking to the factory, to theaters, to the ball game. Soon afterward he told me, "In the past month I've found out more about this town than I've learned in years: kids in the park, little side streets I'd never noticed before, and all kinds of people I just happen to talk to. I've even found myself dropping into the library as I pass, and that's something I'd never done before." For short walks, I find hilltops attract me—and evenings, too. Hilltops have an allure all their own, especially on those magically clear days when you feel you could reach out and put your finger on every leaf within miles; but climbing to a high place on almost any day is enough to widen your horizons, lift you above pettiness, and reveal lines of action rarely glimpsed in the ruck of everyday living. Dusk, I find, is a time for grasping the simple, difficult truths. There is something about a traveler on foot that tends to warm the heart of strangers. They keep telling me of "better" roads to follow. Most people are frankly envious. A surprising number say, "All my life I've wanted to do the kind of thing you're doing—just get away from it all and walk." TODAY, more and more Americans are discovering the joys of wilderness walking. The Appalachian Trail that runs 2,000 miles from Maine to Georgia can be followed only on foot, and last summer 35% more people used the huts along it than in any previous year. On a recent two-week trip of San Francisco's Sierra Club in the Wyoming Rockies—almost all above 9,000 feet—the ages ranged from seven to 70. By carrying the heavy duffel on pack horses, the club brings the purity of mountain peaks and the glory of glaciers within reach of whole families who could not possibly manage such trips alone. An increasing number of doctors nowadays advise their patients to do more walking. Only this afternoon I heard a radio plea by the California Heart Association: "We Americans are sitting pretty—too pretty. The heart's a muscle and needs exercise. Try a walk this evening . . ." Today, it is fashionable to blame the automobile for what has been called "the progressive atrophy of our legs." But the decline began long before Henry Ford. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote: "The civilized man has built a coach, but he has lost the use of his feet." WE HAVE now moved far beyond the coach. Not long ago, a young man at a cocktail party boasted to me that he had just completed a round-the-world sight-seeing tour in 79 days. In a single jet-streamed breath he scuttled from St. Peter's, Rome, via the pyramids, to a Cambodian jungle temple. "That's the way to travel," he said. "You see everything important." When I suggested that the way to see important things was to walk, he nearly dropped his martini. There is a difference between "getting somewhere" and "going." When I want to "get somewhere," I buy an airline ticket. But if I want the joy of "going," I walk. When the press of day-to-day problems threatens to swamp me, I lock the garage and devote two or three days to using my legs for their rightful purpose of locomotion. And always, when I come home, I find I have rediscovered the secret of happiness. Suburbia Today, May 1962 47
