Here's some.
I posted some more in my blog (link below).





This afk(?) pic of Cubey with his spork (and evil grin) is intersting:


p.s. to Cubey- thanks for the idea. Everyone had fun.

Whoah, that's kind of weird. All I know is I was AFK when you took that. :)

Great pix, everyone. Thanks for making it a fun walk!

Aww, sorry I missed this. Yesterday morning I logged in and felt like walking, went from Ahern to Yabune, shorter trip, but interisting none-the-less.

I think more people should take to walking places, makes for a more interisting trip sometimes.

I'd be up for a walk across the world. :D

This was a hoot, Cubey. Good idea!

Here we are near the beginning, up in the northeast.




Walking into the sunset. My big bushy tail is quite evident. :D




You can see the route map on Cubey's back in this picture.


Siobhan in her Orca hovers overhead, while Torley's megamelon slice duels with a giant spork. This is what happens when Cubey idles... sheer anarchy!


And of course, jumping in the fountain in Luna at the end. :D

That sounds fun!

So I have a question: how do you walk and type at the same time? I can barely stand still and type at the same time without falling off things or jumping like an idiot because I hit "e" without opening the chat field.

I missed this! :( I need to read the events section more often.

Nice Pics, Ursula.
Thanks for sharing. :)

BTW, I suggest for the next walkabout that there be a relog break or two along the way. In my experience, I can only cross so many sims before my machine freaks and boots me out of SL. Of course, if no one else has a problem, I'm ok with relogging and catching up. :)

It's not easy... :D We were a quiet group for a lot of the way. One thing I did was to use the arrow keys with my right hand, and type only with the left... which is not that easy. Since I couldn't touch-type like usual, sometimes I'd go off-course while typing.

Of course, some people are more used to one-handed typing than others. :D

I second this! Although we did take a few pit stops, it seemed that as the walk went on, I was relogging more frequently. And my tail kept disappearing! :(

I had the same problem with my wind-up key.
At least my clothes remained intact :D
