I decided against it when i realized how poor of a choice the leader in Chengdu made.
I got the paper this morning and the headline translated to roughly "holy shit china has too many people"
the stats for the Oct 1st holiday travel: 10 million by air, 4.7 million by train, 23 million by car. Chance of getting a taxi: near impossible.
This being a holiday akin to the 4th of July, and the meeting place being a public square and subway transportation hub, my guess was that there could be a hundred thousand in the square alone.

Bummer.
Ours is tomorrow. 25 people are signed up - don't recognize a one.
Cold, I can take - but not rain. We'll see.

With just under 2 hours til the walk, I took my name off the list. On what should be a gorgeous fall day, it's 42 - raining - blowing and "feels like" 36. I can't make myself go out the door. :cry:

Nope, I forgot all about it. I am nursing my sore legs. We did a 24 hour trip to the ADKS, 10 hours in the car, 12 hours hiking 4 high peaks, and two hours eating.

I hold no grudges against Mother Nature - she always makes up for it with days like today. Glorious! :pumpkin: :leaf: And it's not like I can't walk around High Falls by myself, right? :up:

Do you have to be participating in the actual walk to submit? I was in the panda preserve at the time and have some nice images from that.
