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. Wink

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!

Hey, Arandiel! [In reply to] Can't Post

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!

Howdy Walkers! [In reply to] Can't Post

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

Time Flies when you don't pay attention ;) [In reply to] Can't Post

OMG! I'm late again! But I've had a pretty productive week :) TONS of yard work and TONS of cleaning. I'm still purging 40 years of hoarding for a monstrous yard sale probably in September. I'm determined!

The Fellowship and I are travelling through Moria and came to 3 doors! Which way now? Plus, Frodo's sure he heard footfalls coming up from behind. hmmmm...

I hope everyone has a GREAT week... and I'll see you on the Road... thanks to Arandiel for taking such good care of us :)

Update for July 16 [In reply to] Can't Post

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!

OMG! Already mid-July!?! [In reply to] Can't Post

Ya look away for one second, and BOOM! Lookit what happens! I'M NOT READY!

Anyway... it's all good :) I'm closer to my Granddaughter's visit August 1 and closer to retirement and closer to Lothlorien ;)

The Fellowship has escaped Moria, visited Mirrormere and the Silverlode. Soon there will be rest and food.

I've made good mileage with yardwork, massive housecleaning and lots of walks to decompress. See ya'll on the Road!!!
