"The Blog Almost Too Boring To Be The Most Boring Blog in America ... for Over 5 Years!"

until it got too many red cards from Wounded Duck and the Boredom Enforcement Committee ... now the tortoise's goal is to get to 10 red cards so he can get Big Dog to drive down and take a good long walk with the tortoise

P. S. This blog listens to its readers. We have the Benjamin Category Override for 5+ mile walks and now, it humbles Tortoise to say he has been named "Lou", by Doug Jr, in memory of Mr. Consistency himself, Lou Gehrig. Tortoise can hardly type the words to think he is in any way comparable to the noble Iron Horse. Thank you!

#DailyWalk 559 Confluence View Trail, Tortoise Track, and More!


This first batch of pictures for day 559, with a shoutout to our friends in Fresno, which at 500,000 population (1 million metro) is the largest city in America without an interstate highway.  Doug and Doug have quality memories of the 41 freeway after midnight on the way to doing reunion research in Yosemite.  Excellent magical mystery tour that was!




Here's the numbers;  4.53 miles walked with 440 feet climbed in 1:51:15.  Does that even qualify as a tortoise pace (at 24:34 minutes per mile), or have we gone to a snail pace?  Tortoise rating was 4.6, including a quarter mile stretch with 13% grade.  Year to date miles 181.86 (6.60 ahead of goal); climbing 14,936 feet (833 ahead of goal.

The tortoise is smiling!  Cheerio!
