This past Sunday, a few of my friends and I participated in the local planet walk. A high school student designed this walk. The earth miles between posted planet signs are equivalent to the light years between planets! It's pretty cool! If you walk from Pluto (they know it's not a planet anymore, but they had put the sign up the day before the IAU made this decision) to the sun, it is 11 miles. That was our plan at the beginning of the day...
However, it was cold outside and the snow really sucked to walk in! The snow was somewhat compacted, but we still sank a little bit with each step. We all were just wearing hiking boots or sneakers. We ended up calling it quits after about 6 miles! We were all pretty sore and tired. Damn this old age! The dogs were also getting kind of fed up with the cold! Luckily, Michael was in town doing his Christmas shopping so he came and picked us up! :)
