jayfurrCarole and I did a five mile walk tonight. We drove one car five miles from home (per the odometer) and then walked back. Then drove back and got the car.
Such efficient people we are, burning all that gas just to walk! But we wanted to walk a road we hadn't walked before and we chose a little dirt road south of our house, across the river, for the purpose. Only problem was, we had no idea how far "five miles" would be unless we drove it. I guess we could have walked 2.5 miles from home, gone as far down said road as 2.5 miles took us, then turned around. My GPS unit would have been happy to tell us when to turn around. But this way was more interesting, not tracing the same route twice and all that.
Our route, starting 4 miles down Wes White Road:

Me at the sign for Robbins Mountain Wildlife Management Area:
Carole by a patriotically-painted barn a mile or so from home:
