Today we found ourselves sans most of our usual group and had to go out recruiting additional walkers. This proved very challenging, which was strange on such a beautiful day. As it turned out, the only member replacements we could find were three canine stand-ins, which we settled for since we have not yet discussed as a group whether or not we’re the discriminating sort. They were excellent walkers and did not even ask to stop for lunch, which has not become standard WOR practice. Patting walkers on the heads is also not usually done (though perhaps it should be in the future), but we made exceptions today, because how could you not pat such a fluffy head?
The John, Ken, and Kathy of today’s walk. Lookin’ good, guys.
We were relieved to see that we were not the only ones lacking members today, as we swung by Roth Pond and saw a lone reporter serving as her own star and camera crew. We briefly considered taking over the project and creating our first Walk-O-Rama feature film, but we were not in the mood. Plus we had little baby geese to find. Strangely, they too were missing. Is there some cool place on or off campus that we do not know about?
This project could have been awesome if we were not so lazy. I’m sure she did great too.
No baby geese were to be found in the Roth Pond area, which made Kristen cry like a baby person.
Having taken about 5 too many wrong turns in our attempt to take the quickest route around a construction zone, we ended up lost and confused in the wilderness. Perhaps Kristen + Celeste, the two least direction savvy people alive, should not have embarked on such an adventure alone. But Celeste vaguely recalled having taken this barely traveled path before, and so we bravely continued on. Fortunately for us, we soon found a building that we could cut through (because Walk-O-Rama is all about taking short cuts to reduce distance), which is where we spotted the plans for a building we will soon be able to explore!
We can’t wait to cut through this building in the future.
Hopefully more people can join us next week, as the weather continues to get better and better! We’ll be whining about the heat in no time! Perhaps we’ll see you there, especially since these canine understudies most likely have other plans.
