My Magenta Miles: August 2005 Progress Report

The magenta shows where I've walked so far, for a cumulative total of 64 miles on the city streets of Tacoma. I've barely begun this project, and I already feel I know my city much better than I did before. The more I walk our streets, the more motivated I am to get out again and discover something else I've never seen or noticed before.

For anyone interested in the technical toys, here's what I'm using for this project. I use the Omron HJ-112 pedometer to keep track of my actual walking distance. For mapping my tracks, and for marking the coordinates of monuments and the like, I use the Garmin e-Trex Legend GPS receiver.
