Note that it says 5 miles, but in the little caption on the right it was 5km.

HMMMM, maybe we are on to something here ....
Average walking speed of humans is ~3mph.
And if it was 5km, not miles, then I can see pushing a Cobalt that far in 2.5 hours.
That'd only be 1km per hour-ish.

But you're correct, hills would cetainly help...as long as it was DOWNhill.

Random...from August 2018. I was driving where the red blob is.
