A Different Path

by

Lately I am having issues with my ankles turning while on a dirt trail or geocaching. I think city hiking for a while is a good alternative. Future walks will include paved trails, parks, desire paths and green spaces.

More wandering, more flanuering. These evoke freedom, serendipity, and encounters with city life.

Long walks (nothing like Craig Mod’s expeditions across Japan though)to explore, quantify, document, record and archive my discoveries.

In the future, I will acquire a Garmin watch to help track and quantify these urban excursions. I believe they will do a better job than the Apple Watch currently on my wrist with a third-party app.

Body Over Mind

by

Which should I listen to? I’ve come to realize lately that my body has more self-wisdom than my mind. My mind tells me what I want to do, whereas the body tells me what I should do. Huge difference,

Should is moral and ethical dogma, when must is a bodily command.

This geocache hide from a friend was just pure evil. Took a bit and I even put my hands on it, but Miss Adventure found it first. Aargh.

Walk Talk

by

A diary or journal of a walk is a tough format to produce. The minutia is the core of the experience but it can be hard to translate 

I prefer essays about walking and public spaces that are more philosophical but unsure of how to do it.

A Better Map

by

There is a need for a Global Atlas of Pedestrian Infrastructure.

Maps of pedestrian bridges, desire paths, public parks and green spaces, pedestrian only roads, sidewalks to nowhere, trails and paths. 

No car infrastructure in any the maps.

We Have Liftoff

The test flight of Aero Mojo, the new drone, was a successful one. I almost lost it over the bypass but recovered nicely as shown in the video. The flight ended in a hard crash when encountering a pine tree but survived nicely!
