Walk to Rivendell - and Beyond!
|
Can't Post
|
|
It's a fly-by for me this week, as I'm writing to you from the wilds of West Yellowstone, Montana - apparently the only place I can find internet or cell service in the Yellowstone area (it's certainly not happening at our cabin). Yes, it's beautiful - stunning, even - and quite reminiscent of Rohan and the Northern Wastes, in my opinion. How go your journeys this week? The usual links are missing this time around because I'm in a rush, but they'll return when I get home. Also, rather than having the Mods change our thread title when it stays on the front page, how does this sound: if a week has gone by, just post your update on the most recent WTR post. I'll update in the previous week's thread if it's still on the front page come the next Thursday. Okay? My Mileage: Past two weeks: 54 Cumulative: 538 Goal: I hear Lothlorien is lovely this time of year... Prep for the trip and our stop at Independence Rock in Wyoming have helped my mileage along considerably this week - plus, I'm trying to increase my daily mileage, and it seems to be working, for now. Have a great next week, everyone! - Ara

Aren't the days just flying by? And miles, along with them. As of yesterday, I've been on the road for exactly half a year. My progress: Miles covered this past two weeks: 94,5 Cumulative miles: 458 + 450 = 908 Goal: Rivendell to Lothlórien In Middle-earth, I'm only 12 miles away from reaching Caras Galadhon. Woohoo! It's to Rauros next from here for me. Happy walking, everyone, and enjoy the trip, Arandiel!

Yellowstone!? That is one of the places I'd dearly love to see someday. I'm so glad your family is having such a great time :D I'm including 4 weeks of mileage since the last time I posted miles was for June 4th... and boy have I been running! Over 10 days, I moved my daughter and her 2 teen sons from an upstairs 2-bedroom apartment in a pretty iffy complex to a very nice 3-bedroom ground-floor apartment! Such a great thing for them as they each get their own bedrooms, but mainly it will help my daughter who has fibro-myalgia and a very bad back. So I got a fabulous workout! All of this has taken me off the threat of Caradhras and on my way to Moria. I'm doing major cleaning and moving over this weekend... so the miles are already adding up! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend... and holiday here in the US. :) Thanks for keeping us on the Road, Arandiel... and I think the idea of posting on existing threads is a great idea :) See everyone on the Road! Miles covered: 65 miles 6/11 ; 40 miles 6/18 ; 25 miles 6/25 ; 38 miles 7/2 = 168 total Cumulated miles: 787 CHALLENGE: The Lord of the Rings Walk with the Fellowship Challenge! GOAL: Walk to Lothlórien and peek into a mirror – 462 miles + 458 (Rivendell) = 920 Cumulated miles

I can't believe it's already the middle of July! Days may be longer in the summer, but they feel twice as short as in the winter. My progress: Miles covered this week: 43 Cumulative miles: 920 + 80 = 1000 Goal: Lothlórien to Rauros I've found a nice steady pace and continue drifting downstream towards Emyn Muil. Happy walking, everyone!
