The Long Walk—a 40-mile, 3-day journey on foot I took part in last year; I wrote this about it—is underway again, led by artist Susan Robb. It is a trek from the city to Snoqualmie Falls, through the awkwardly exurban areas in between.

They left yesterday morning from Golden Gardens, and they're posting photos here. Last year, we were a self-contained unit. But this year you can join the walkers at their halfway point, for Midpoint Mash-Up in a park in Duvall, including sound performances by the Seattle Phonographers Union. There's more on the background of this year's project here.

If you see them on the road, look at them funny. They find that amusing.
