Daves 50/20 hike

Last summer -  yes I am that behind Dave went on a hike with the young men where they had to hike 50 miles in under 20 hrs.  He did it the year befor but his hips gave out around mile 27 so this year he was determined to finish and changed up his game plan a bit.  They started on a Friday night with a full moon and hiked through the night and finished up the next afternoon.  None of his scouts made the hike, but another guy from the ward wanted to try it so Dave had someone to walk with.  The poor guys got poured on a few times. Their boots were filled with water, they had to stop to dump the water out.  They were beat!! But, HE FINISHED it!!! We were so proud of him.  Very few finish it all the way. He could barely walk for a few days and all the pads on his feet were big huge bruises and blisters we had to keep draining just so he could put some weight on them. But, he did it and he can say he did it and he will never do it again.. if I have any say :) He wants to camp along the way this year and cheer the people on.  Anything that keeps him from doing it again.

At the end after he finished.

Completely pooped!!

Walking across the finish line to the pavilion.   We were so proud of him!
