concourse walking distance<br>
6 lengths/3 laps = 1 mile, not 2 laps<br>
<br>
The number of laps named in the email below seems too few, too short <br>
in distance.<br>
<br>
Any of you who are curious can try what I just did using Google Earth.<br>
<br>
I homed in on the Palouse Mall, then zoomed in to extend the length of <br>
the enclosed mall concourse to stretch from one side of my wide-screen<br>
PC monitor to the other side.<br>
<br>
Then I clicked on Tools>Ruler>Path at the top of the Google Earth
screen.<br>
<br>
To start my "path" I clicked on top of the concourse, a few feet to the<br>
outside of the Macys entrance from the concourse [A walker is not likely<br>
to walk up to the walk, nor be able to turn around that close to it]. I<br>
continued clicking from the west end of the concourse, with clicks for <br>
the jogs in the concourse, until my final click was a few feet from the<br>
east exit/entrance of the concourse.<br>
<br>
Google Earth displayed 0.17 miles for the length of that
multiple-segment<br>
path. 6 x .17 = 1.02 miles. So allowing for roundoff and
inaccuracies, 6 lengths,<br>
3 round-trips, or 3 "laps" = one mile.<br>
<br>

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