[Vision2020] Palouse Empire Mall Walkers

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.
