AnneLine Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Hello, Everyone! We have the Stats for our Travelers this week. Mileage posted between 7/13/2014 and 7/28/2014: AnneLine ........................ 10.86 (pedometer) - but it can't be counting right!!! BrandelynMarie .............. 27.00 (pedometer) CarterMia ....................... 27.00 (17 mile + 10 baseline) CrossCut ........................ .00 (no mileage posted) Maximillion ...................... 22.00 (12 miles + 10 baseline) SpemInAlium .................. 24.00 (14 miles + 10 baseline) TheresaThoma ............... .00 (will post later in week) Tigger60 ......................... 15.07 (pedometer) xTriciaxLynnx ................... 22.00 (12 mils + 10 baseline) TOTAL TRAVELERS: 9 TOTAL MILES: 147.93 Almost everyone's numbers are up from last week... Excellent!!! I've given all who haven't said they are using pedometers an extra 10 miles... because that makes your numbers get in the same ballpark with the rest of us. That is the equivalent of 'just breathing' that I've discovered shows up on my pedometer when I am sick. who would have figured???? If you ARE using a pedometer, please let us know so we will not give you that extra credit. Generally if you give me numbers that aren't round numbers, i'ts a pretty clear sign you are using a pedometer! :) Hope to see you posting again soon, Crosscut! TheresaThoma has said she will be posting on Wednesdays, so next week she will give us a BIG boost!) I am going to have to get a new pedometer....or start adding finger mileage for posting the journal!!! Watch for the next installment of where we are traveling in a day or two -- have something in the real world that has to get done before I can prep the update....

tigger60 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Hi all just wanted to put in my mileage for last week. It is 15.88 miles. I hope that others will continue to post their mileage because I do not want to stay in the dessert. Edited August 4, 2014 by tigger60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresaThoma Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Well I have been doing a good bit of walking this week so hopefully that will get us out of the desert soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hi everyone, I know I have been awol for a few days.... sorry, 'twas unexpected! I is back now.... for another week or so... then I go on a vacation without internet access.... heading across country to a wedding! Here's my totals for last week: 13.62. I gotta get a new pedometer and/or start moving more! BTW... I know the pedometer is misbehaving... it clocked me at less than 5 miles... and no aerobic miles at all!!!!! So yes, it is a guesstimate based on past history and likely movement..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) And I do have some partly-done next stops ready to go... so watch for some updates probably later today... and once everyone has checked in, our updated mileage!!!!!!

brandelynmarie Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 22 miles for me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossCuT Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 4 more miles for me! I NEED TO GET A PEDOMETER! (Ill be saying that every time i post until I actually get one haha!) Arent you suppose to get like 10,000 steps a day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 That's what they recommend... and it is roughly about 3 miles per day if you get those in. What has usually worked the VERY best for me is either doing a 1/2 hour walk on top of regular mileage of just movig around during the day and/or doing the same while walking in front of a TV or YouTube video or while talking with a friend on the phone. I has just been being lazy... :paperbag: you all are pushing me, which is GREAT!!!!! :flex: :cupid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossCuT Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I want to count all my walking miles too! I walk a lot at my job on certain occasions so id be curious to see how many miles I cover apart from my runs in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 ATTENTION! We are still missing mileage this week from CarterMia, Maximillion, Spem in Alium and xTriciaxLynnx This is NOT good!!!!! Walkers in lonely stretches of the California and Arizona desert have been known to be abducted by aliens!!!!! Please post your mileage before 12 noon pacific time... or you never know what might happen!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) We don't have a lot of mileage to play with this week, so while we wait for the others to catch up, we'll travel along the route from Twentynine Palms to the Bill Williams River National Wildlife Refuge. Here's a map: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Twentynine+Palms,+CA/Wonder+Valley,+CA/Parker,+AZ/Bill+Williams+River+National+Wildlife+Refuge,+Lake+Havasu+City,+AZ+86406/@34.1512607,-117.2496198,7z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m26!4m25!1m5!1m1!1s0x80dac726c25e7ecf:0xec37eb42c963a3fc!2m2!1d-116.0541689!2d34.1355582!1m5!1m1!1s0x80dabc7ba97ec3f1:0x79ff174de8339abf!2m2!1d-115.8758354!2d34.155373!1m5!1m1!1s0x80d1830127f1e51d:0xf8e550e83a59eddc!2m2!1d-114.2891177!2d34.1500162!1m5!1m1!1s0x80d22f27f1ed66e3:0x25f16b3f0ecc4aa2!2m2!1d-114.045828!2d34.272715!3e2 As with all these maps, be sure to select the little walking man. You may want to switch between looking at the 'terrain' and the 'google earth' option to get the best view of this part of the journey. Weather: Twentynine Palms, CA 96/69 F. SUNNY Wonder Valley, CA 95/68 F. SUNNY Parker, AZ 100/81 F. SUNNY Bill Williams River National Wildlife Refuge 100/81 F, SUNNY The weather should be VERY WARM so be sure to bring lots of water, sunscreen, and wear appropriate clothing. We MAY get a chance to swim at the end of the journey, so bring a swimsuit! Take frequent breaks. Found a timelapse video of our walk this week.... unless the others check in with us, we are gonna get stuck somewhere on this road.... yikes! Now I wouldn't watch the whole thing... but maybe sample it every 8 minutes... it will give you a feel for the country! Drivelapse Twentynine Palms-Kingman [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvA-1xPFBEs[/media] Oh, you want to slow down a bit? sure! Here's our first stop - Wonder Valley, California http://www.wondervalley92277.com/index2.html "Wonder Valley is a unique place in this overcrowded world. It's a beautiful valley in an unincorporated rural desert area just east of Twentynine Palms where you will find shopping, a library, post office, restaurants etc. About 30 minutes away is Yucca Valley, with a lot more stores and restaurants. The city of Palm Springs is only an hour away." Right. http://www.wondervalley92277.com/index2.html Parker, AZ This is the town that marks the dividing line between Calfiornia and Arizona along he Colorado River. Lake Havasu is the water that is diverted from the Colorado River. Water makes the difference between a desert and a lush landscape.... http://www.city-data.com/picfilesv/picv34861.php http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=11265 We just missed this event on June 7th!!!! There really isn't much more to Parker, so I think we had best keep moving on down the Colorado River! Here's where we are going to stay... at the Bill Williams River National Wildlife Refuge [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbUepnoxH9E[/media] I sure hope the others show up with more mileage soon... or we might have to hitchhike. No telling where we might end up.... Edited August 5, 2014 by AnneLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossCuT Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I am glad that the aliens wont be taking me away this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
