Steps
 
My iPhone shows about 60,000 steps from Saturday to Wednesday a.m..

Nothing like the iPhone to keep things moving!

for those of you with a bad elf pro, put it in data log mode and stick it in your pocket. you can then download it and see your path on google earth.

I came in at 60 for six days, but I had four 14 year old kids there. I would love to know how far they walked! Bet it was closer to 100.

Funny you ask. I also found myself keeping track after my pedometer app started giving me gold stars the first day or so. Then it became a bit of a challenge. High was 25,000 steps and 13 miles. Total over 5 days approx 60 miles.

Steps
 
Over 26k on Monday and Wednesday, 16k Tuesday, left Thursday morning so I figure 2k a mile = 32miles

According to my iPhone, from Saturday - Friday: 66.3 miles

That doesn't include the walking I did after showing up on Friday afternoon.

Getting Old is not for Sissies!
 
I switched to a scooter a few years back for the older EAAer's I camp with.So I split my walking with rides to different areas then go on foot.Unless i need to get to hanger C bath rooms in a rush,I'm much better off walking.
A much wiser camper put me on to 1.clean feet 2. slather Vick's Vapor rub between my toes and on the bottom of my feet. 3. Invert a clean sock and rub out any toe jam lent. Insert into clean mesh top running shoe. I haven't had a blister in years,works like a charm.Now that you know......Keep it under your VAF hat its a trade secret.

Sure would be nice if they would offer rides. So many cruising around solo and elderly limping as the drive by. They could at least offer a short rude to where the stop or turn off.

I understand actually.

But if you see one with a sign on it sayiong something like:

EAA Board Member
Can I Give You a Ride?

You are very likely to get one if you show the least bit of sign of wanting one. Can't give a ride to everyone but I know that I try to keep my eyes open for someone that looks like they could really use one.

So, if you see me on a cart next year, shout out "Hey James! You promised me a ride!" An you will get one from me. I promise. :-)

James

p.s. I cannot speak though for the other 99% of the cart drivers. :-) :-)
