This weekend I decided to do some driving exploring of the potential route for the walk that I’m planning on February 10th and as it turns out I am considering altering it a teeny bit. One major change will be the starting point...we will now convene at the NE corner of Wilshire & Western….that would be both bus and train friendly in as far as transpo is concerned. The next minor alteration will be the actual walking route, we will still end up in Downtown however I’m considering scrapping Rampart and traversing an as yet unspecified east/west street, looking into 9th as a possibility. 4th Street is another option and if I go with that route then we will include Rampart.
I will be exploring again this Saturday and report back early next week with a more definite game plan. Either way, the walk will be between 3 and 5 miles (depending on the route) which in my mind is very manageable for most able bodied creatures. Starting time is still noon.
Also there may be a slight kink in the plans for drinks at the Figueroa Hotel as the damn Grammys happen on the same day, just across the street. That’s OK though, we will be on foot so if our drinking destination needs to change we will do it on the fly!
I hope those that have RSVP'd so far aren't too bummed at the change of plans, and if you are then plan your own damn walk!
:) kidding...kind of...
