On a road in NW Orem

Participants

Plans

During an afternoon break, I'll walk over. Maybe barefoot with a snack.

Expedition

After I was basically done with work for the day, it was 3°C, but after a brief test, I decided it was a short enough walk to be worth the Hobbit attempt. My family decided to join me. (We've got to get the kids out of the house sometime today.) The closest thing I could find to Lembas bread was graham crackers, so I grabbed a couple of them. On the way we briefly stopped twice to take a snack.

When we arrived at the point, we spent a few minutes walking around to get the GPS close enough, and snapped a few pictures before returning home.
