[Troop139] Good Friday hike cancelled

Tue Mar 31 22:55:51 EDT 2020

Msgr. Rich, et al,

Good decision indeed... It takes a pandemic to stop Troop 139 from hiking curches on Good Friday!

I have given altenatives some thought however...

:-)

This situation limits ones options to complete a 20 mile hike while staying home.  For example, if you have a small back yard, and want to walk 20 miles, here are some things to consider:

1 mile = 5,280 ft

20 miles = 105,600 ft

If your step is 3 ft, then you will need 35,200 steps for the 20 miles.

Now stay with me folks, there is a point to all of this.

Now, in my driveway or yard I have two areas where I could go about 35 ft, then turn around and go back and forth, and back and forth...

So if I go across my yard or driveway 1,000 times with a little shuffle in my pivots, I can do the 20 miles in my yard without exposing myself or others to any potential infection.  

Another consideration:  

My lot is 40 ft wide with a nice sidewalk.  Sounds ideal for such a confined walk, so why not use that you might ask?

Two good reasons not to do that are that passersby may break your pace and come into contact, and someone might think I am crazy and call the Police and cart me away!  :-)

Have a great day everyone!

If anyone needs anything, please give me a call.

Peace and Love of the Lord to you all!

Gordon
