What's the statistical distribution for the location of the pebble? (Without that, the answer is "it depends"/undefined.) Note that a uniform distribution isn't possible over an infinite line.

Agreed on the impossibility of the uniform distribution. Partially disagree on undefined: a function from the initial distance to the travel distance can be defined regardless of the distribution of the initial distance.

Go with any scale invariant distribution.
