Progress After 40 Walks

Cali and I have completed 40 walks on this project to walk every street in Corvallis. Here is how the map looked after 16 walks:

Here is how it looks after 40 walks:

40th Walk Progress at EveryTrail


We've now completely filled in a few sections of town. We focussed on the area around the OSU campus in the past month, since that area is about to get very busy with students returning for the new academic year.

During our first 40 walks, we've covered 98.8 miles for an average walk of about 2.5 miles. I've burned almost 11,000 calories. On the parts of our walks that covered new streets (as opposed to walking on previously covered streets to reach the new ones), we've walked 86.5 miles. Of course, some of those miles also retrace some parts of some streets. It's impossible to be completely efficient - especially with all of the cul de sacs in Corvallis.

At this point, my guess is that we're about a third of the way toward our goal.
