Boring? Walking for the sake of exercise is pretty boring to begin with. Walk wherever you want. I'm just saying that you're taking your life in your hands walking on the cart paths.
"Taking your life in your hands." Isn't that a bit overblown? Accidents happen everywhere but there haven't been too many on an MMP. Not boring at all unless I have to just walk around my (or anyone's) neighborhood. There are less boring more "visually pleasing" walks to take like on the MMP's by a golf course or by a lake on an MMP. I didn't move down here to be impressed by neighbors front yards and garbage bags out on their garbage day. The "pleasant environment" is part of what I paid for. If I am supposed to avoid of walking where I am permitted to on a MMP there is something terribly wrong. A piece of space junk can fall on your head around your block (which would be my luck).
