A couple of weeks ago I was pretty bored and decided that I wanted to get out. I rode down the street to the grocery store on my board (about the size of a Penny board). After I went in and got some candy (Altoids actually) I decided to keep going to the end of the mall where the store is located. Once I got to the end, I found a sidewalk that went around this big lake and under the highway, so I followed it through a pitch black tunnel and when I ended up on the other side I just found where a road started and decided to follow it until it became a dead-end. After a while it did so I turned and followed the next one until it did too. Around this time I decided to try and find my way back by going forward instead of retracing my path. I called a friend to ask him to check how far I was on Google Maps. He said I was around five miles away from where I started at this point, and offered to help me find my way back. I declined, since I still wanted to find it myself. After another long while I decided to call him again, and he said that I was now around nine miles away from where I had started. I was getting tired and had thought that I would be pretty close at this point, so I asked him to give me directions to get back. When I finally got back I was tired, hungry, and so thirsty, but I had a really enjoyed my little adventure. It may seem silly since I was ultimately so close to where I live, but I had never been anywhere along that route so it really felt like an adventure of discovery. After getting some food and something to drink, I retraced my route on Google Maps and it turns out that I had gone 21.7 miles. It took me around four hours. Here's my route for anyone who is interested: http://goo.gl/maps/Yvwwj http://goo.gl/maps/Yvwwj
