I'm off in the Morning

Thurs. Evening, July 22
I leave Arco in the morning to begin an 87 mile segment to Rexburg, Idaho. I believe it is the last of the rather flat terrain I have been experiencing and will deposit me at the western base of the Rockies. I will be following Highway 33 and camp for the next three nights. After that I will be in Rexburg hopefully in a motel. I could try to make it in three days but it is just a lot more work. Pushing a 160+ pound vehicle I average about 22 miles in eight hours, 26-28 miles in ten hours, and 32 in twelve. So much is dependent on the terrain. These averages include the various breaks and lunch. I checked on Map Quest a moment ago and it shows me having walked 670 miles. Cool.

  1. You are awesome, Ray. Good luck on your three day stretch to Rexburg! 670 miles and more than several amazing experiences, you amaze me, and anyone who isn't moved needs to walk 6.7 miles and ... well, I think at that time, they would be moved as well...or maybe contemplate making that walk 100 times!

    Walk strong my friend,
    Bert
