    I live in Austria, so we won't come near to my place.

    I love playing around with Google maps, so I started with a possible route for us - just as a suggestion, of course I can always change it as you like!

    This is how far we have come yet:
    Boston - New York - Baltimore: 212+187 = 399 miles

    And this is a route to the Grand Canyon:

    Baltimore - Washington: 38 miles (rather short...)
    Washington - Nashville: 664 miles (rather long, perhaps a stop in between would be nice?)
    Nashville - Memphis: 217 miles
    Memphis - Oklahoma City: 511 miles
    OklahomeaCity - Albuquerque: 575 miles
    Albuquerque - Grand Canyon: 386 miles

    Mileage is calculated for going by foot, it is a bit more than when going by car.

    Hiking for 500kms???!!! Holy ****. I'm more suited to the shorter, quicker stuff :tongue:


    Climbed MT Pomona this morning with some friends. First time I've done it in the rain! Was above the clouds when we got to the top! Pretty cruisey for most of it and then I just wanted to go quick despite the rain. It actually wasn't that slippery anyway as it's normally quite dusty up there. Legs were on fire when i got to the top!

    Well done Chris. Its meant to be a great hike and you sure look happy about making it up there

    Welcome Maalea and thanks for doing the map.

    As this is a virtual hike and a team effort, we are not really hiking the trail but recorded each walk we do to build towards reaching our destination and to keep us motivated.

    I have a cold at the moment so my hike today was cancelled and yesterday's was shortened, but I can start us off with 4 miles.

    Sorry for being absent so long - you probably know that we had a big flood in Central Europe. Fortunately, we have a very good flood protection system in Vienna, but other regions did not fare so good, and I was busy helping my parents and friends to deal with it...

    All in all, I can only add 9.8 miles for this week:
    Team total: 50.77 miles!

    Edit: Did you notice, we are already past Washington D.C.!

    Glad you and your family are safe Maalea, that is all that really counts as things can be replaced.

    I can add a further 20 miles, so that takes us to 70.77 miles. We are really powering along :smile:

    FRIDAY - 3.92 Miles
    SATURDAY - 11.21 Miles (7.26 on the Recumbent Bike)

    Team Total = 85.9 Miles

    I just noticed Chris's Mountain Photos! I have never tried Mountain Climbing (have you seen Oklahoma?) but I have Friends who Love It. Might have to think about adding it to my Bucket List.

    Thank you both!
    You are absolutely right, it was just stuff! And not so much water, just about 30 cm - no comparison to other towns where they had water up to the roof...

    I can add 4.8 miles today, so we have 90.7 miles in total.
