Now I call these HIKES

Saturday we finally had another team hike. It was nice to be out with the team again. It is funny that we really only have 3 team hikes left before the big day. The rest are on your own hikes or mentor lead hikes, which Chryssa and I usually do on our own instead so that I don't have to get up at 5am to be there.

An update on the hike:

We started out bright and early, yet again, and as we drove up the hill to the park entrance the snowflake light came on in Chryssa's prius - which means we were hiking in a balmy 36 degrees. We started out the hike at the top of one very large hill and hiked several hours down, ate a small lunch and then hiked back up. Our pace was faster than anticipated, which meant we were able to do an extra 1.4 mile extension. Total we probably did about a 7 or 7.5 mile hike. The hard part was going back up the hill! The Peterson Trail at Sanborn is a butt burner to say the least, but we made it and did very well. This weekend we are doing Windy Hill, since Chryssa and I both missed that team hike.

On the fundraising side:

We had another bake sale yesterday and raised about $400 - which means I'm up to $1250!! I still have a long way to go, but I'm at 39% of the required amount I have to fundraise.

Also, if you could please send the link on to anyone you know that may want to contribute to this cause I'd be very grateful.

Thanks for all of your support -
