[Vision2020] Palouse Empire Mall Walkers

[Donovan Arnold]

That of course would require you to be able to walk the entire distance of the mall though, inside, which you cannot do because of walls and closed off sections. 

I believe the 2 laps equals roughly one miles was if you walked around the outside of the mall from Hastings building to WinCo. 

Or you could do what I do, and invest in a step counter and walk where every you want and know how far it is. I like to walk along bike paths near Mountain View Park, and around Wal-Mart when the weather was bad. My Grandmother, Aunt, and Great Aunt, God rest their souls, use to walk about the Mall and around East City Park. 

I don't like to walk around food since my goal is usually to lose weight. 

Best Regards,

Donovan

Re: Palouse Mall inside
concourse walking distance

       6 lengths/3 laps = 1 mile, not 2 laps



The number of laps named in the email below seems too few, too short 

in distance.



Any of you who are curious can try what I just did using Google Earth.



I homed in on the Palouse Mall, then zoomed in to extend the length of 

the enclosed mall concourse to stretch from one side of my wide-screen

PC monitor to the other side.



Then I clicked on Tools>Ruler>Path at the top of the Google Earth
screen.



To start my "path" I clicked on top of the concourse, a few feet to the

outside of the Macys entrance from the concourse [A walker is not likely

to walk up to the walk, nor be able to turn around that close to it].  I

continued clicking from the west end of the concourse, with clicks for 

the jogs in the concourse, until my final click was a few feet from the

east exit/entrance of the concourse.



Google Earth displayed 0.17 miles for the length of that
multiple-segment

path.  6 x .17 = 1.02 miles.  So allowing for roundoff and
inaccuracies, 6 lengths,

3 round-trips, or 3 "laps" = one mile.



Sam I am in Moscow . . .

Chasuk-

I have been told that two laps of the mall (including the main entrance
areas) equals one mile.
