While gyms and other activities remain closed or limited, more people are taking walks around the roads less traveled — or even the roads well traveled. Slowing down affords views one doesn’t see or note while driving or even biking. Here are a few from a recent stroll.

ANSWER: A recent walk along Marston Hill Road in Auburn and Minot and County Road in Turner turned up a few interesting mailboxes and their particularly creative holders.
