OT: Walking distance

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

RV park in Pullman is advertising "walking distance".

Its about 2 miles and due to terrain and roads, maps has it at 45 minutes to walk.

Is this "walking distance"?

No.

When Sterk was organizing his RV-in-a-field concept before Golf Course Prez nixed it, he had a sponsored shuttle service lined up.

One of my job duties involves coordinating with the local transit. Through that I've learned that most people won't walk more than 1/4 mile to a bus stop. Not very many will walk 1/3 of a mile, and practically nobody will walk 1/2 mile.

Based on that, I'd say walking distance is something less than 1/4 mile.

However, it's a question of motivation. When I was a student, I walked from Shermers to my house on Military hill. Also from Shermers to Dennys. And when I was in Pullman in September, I walked from Residence Inn to New Garden, via the Coug.

Yes. If you are shitfaced and have no other option apart from walking or breaking into a van until your situation improves. So I’d say up to 3 miles could be walking distance (an hour at a brisk pace). For anyone who can’t walk for an hour, turn the TV off and trade your Cheetos in for a salad.

Gee, I'm a 75 year old Coug. Gee, I lost a leg. Gee, I have horrible arthritis. Gee, I'm hauling my 3-year-old. Lots of reasons people can't walk for an hour "at a brisk pace".

I have a bad knee and ankle, but could walk for an hour if I had to. I don't have to or want to, and it sure as hell wouldn't be at a brisk pace. And no, I'm not fat but nice attempt to fat-shame Cougs.

I imagine you have other ways to get your 3 miles in loyal. Pelvic thrusts are acceptable as well

Walking distance:

0-30 minutes on flat surface.
3 to 5 minutes on Pullman inclines.

for the uninitiated: this concept is known as a walkshed

Normal Walking distance: The distance between my couch and my beer fridge.
In all seriousness, I do not think that most people would consider those 2 miles to be what’s commonly accepted as “walking distance”. Sure it’s still doable for many people, but thats not the question. A quick search of the Internet shows that most people consider walking distance to be something within 20 minutes of walking.

 

[UberCougars]

Walking distance depends on the activity and circumstances.

If headed to a game with someone mobility impaired, I’ll pay for proximity and convenience.

If I’m stuck in the snow on the top of Steptoe Butte, with no phone, it’s gonna take a little longer walking to Colfax.

I don't mind walking 15-20 minutes to get to an event venue. If anything, walking that far usually gets you away from the worst of the traffic when you are going back to your vehicle. 2 miles is not "walking distance".
