Marcia, have you considered having your walks documented? sounds like a perfect off-beat DVD series that you could package and sell as an added value to additional clients... like "the fishing with..." mini-documentary series. Anyway, let me know if you'd like to pursue the idea.- it's right up Reelife's alley. I think you've got a great idea!
