13-248

Two walks today:  First was 0.52 miles in 12 minutes with no climbing to meet Willyne and Doug Jr for lunch at Wendy's.  Great company, and the walk made the food taste better :-)  Then I made a quick trip to St. George to run two errands after the office closed at 5.  After the errands, I headed up to do a new section of the Bluff Street trail, parking the car at 4200 North (last left turn before the Ledges exit on State Road 18) and walking down to highway milepost 6, then retracing my steps to the car.  On this walk, I carried my 31 pound pack that I keep in the back of my car for opportunities just like this ... for this tortoise, it was a solid workout.

This walk was 3.36 miles with 402 feet climbed in 1:10:59 hours total elapsed time (including 52 seconds of picture taking breaks).  Temperature:  92.  Tortoise rating for the first half headed downhill:  6.0.  Tortoise rating headed back up:  3.7. Total walked since 6/28:  112.63 miles.
