Days 137 days walking
2 on trail layover days
22 in town layover days
161 Total days
Averages without layovers: 19.4 mi/day 2,292 ft/day
                with layovers: 16.5 mi/day 1,950 ft/day
Total Distance: 2,658.5 mi

Total Elevation gain: 314,711

I am leading a quiet life
outside of Mike’s Place every day
watching the world walk by
in its curious shoes.
I once started out
to walk around the world
but ended up in Brooklyn
