Sunday I was out doing a maintenance run on my Honey Creek cache. After doing the maintenance, I decided to measure the hiking distance from the cache to the parking. After resetting the trip odometer, I looked at an intermediate waypoint, which was 0.38 miles away as the crow flies. After hiking the winding trail to this waypoint, I took a look at the trip odometer, which read 0.14 miles. I also noticed that the “stopped” time was more than 80% of the total time. Now I may not be the fastest hiker, but even I move more than 20% of the time. I was moving pretty slow, as the trail was iced over, where one mistep would land me down the slope and into the marsh. Note that this is on a 76Cx. Anyone have any ideas why this would occur? Is there some sort of minimum speed below which the trip odometer doesn’t function properly?
