Pokémon GO ‘Adventure Sync’

What could be in this egg, which we incubated while walking via mobile-game Pokémon GO? Actually, we hatched MANY eggs, spending yesterday almost entirely on-foot.

We began our day with a walk from our apartment to Santa Rosa’s transit mall. We had Route 4 drop us at Maria Carrillo High School on Montecito Boulevard. That’s in easternmost Santa Rosa, right off Calistoga Road.

We walked 3 miles for a Walk MS fundraiser, then headed down Brush Creek Trail and out along Mission Boulevard.

Our route then took us down Montgomery Drive for a rest at Montgomery Village, before continuing on our walk back to Santa Rosa downtown.

While in the downtown, we stopped for “Free Comic Book Day” at Outer Planes Comics and Games, before walking the remaining few blocks back to our apartment.

Altogether, we walked about 11 miles (according to a step-counting app). We used “Adventure Sync” to help incubate the eggs when not running Pokémon Go.

‘Walk MS’ in Santa Rosa, California

Walking has ALWAYS been Team Darkhill’s thing, and wherever we lived, we’ve looked for ways to harness that power for good.

In Lake County, California, we walked each year in the “Vineyard Run for Literacy,” which benefited Adult Literacy at the Lake County Library. In Ashland, Oregon, we supported Ashland schools via the “Monster Dash.”

As of yesterday, we each walked 3 miles in the Santa Rosa Walk MS event. Our route began and ended at Maria Carrillo High School; it took us past Rincon Valley Library, through Rincon Valley Community Park and along neighborhood streets before heading back along Montecito Boulevard.

Walking has been such a core part of our lives, you might even call it our “super-power.” It feels good to channel something that we enjoy so much, into making the world a better place. Jonathan and I will be looking for additional fundraiser-walks, as well as continuing to walk nearly everywhere during our day-to-day travels.
