100 miles!

The blog takes pride in reporting that since April it has walked a Path Tracker-verified 100 miles in Winston-Salem this summer. (In fact, it has walked exactly 104 tracked miles in our fair city in its capacity as a blog.) The rules for achieving this goal were strict. Only walks that were successfully recorded using Path Tracker were counted. Only walks taken by Jon and Susan together were counted. And only walks taken in Winston-Salem counted. The total was NOT inflated by trips to Greensboro, Washington DC, the Blue Ridge mountains, Asheville etc. The blog is feeling rather trim, and is also pleased that it spent the $1.99 for the Path tracker iPhone ap! To celebrate, the blog indulges its obelisk obsession one more time (this is a minor obelisk across the street from the Dixie Classic Fair, in front of the Wake Forest football stadium), an example of a sign that the blog can ne'er resist when it is out walking and talking, and a reminder of a brilliantly sunny day at Linville Falls (Independence Day in the Blue Ridge).
