Five of us set out. Only three of us made it to the end.
28 miles
11 hours
Much laughter, great conversation and a gorgeous arrival at the ocean as the sun just dipped behind the horizon.
Many thanks to Will, David, Amanda and Jeff for making at least the first 20 miles feel effortless.
There are pictures to sort and blog posts to write — but for now, we did it!
(picture by me near the end, though my camera was getting tired of focusing, just as my body was tired of walking.)
Very cool to hear about this. I admit, reading about the lead up to this was part of my inspiration to do this last Friday night: http://mummey.blogspot.com/2008/10/making-la-little-smaller.html
I am totally in awe of you guys!
No kidding you guys are my heros.
I have an idea for another one. Colorado Blvd from its start in Griffith Park to its terminus here in outer monrovia. Do that one and I promise to have a BBQ waiting for you as well as some kick ass lemon bars to get the sugar flowing again.
All right guys! You have a month to let your blisters heal — I expect to see all of you out on Saturday, Nov. 22 for the third annual Great Los Angeles Walk!!
Thanks all! Fraz, you offer is most tempting!
Mike (Frankline Ave) which street are you walking? (Please make is a short one, please make it a short one) Sorry, those were my blisters talking…
That was great. Now, passing the exit signs on the 110 freeway has an added dimension.
