What a wonderful quest! I hope they have the time of their lives! Safe journey!
What an amazing journey! I love that you have pictures of locations along the way. My hiking experience on the Appalachian trail makes me really appreciate the enormity of what they will experience. It's so inspiring to think about how we can expand our potential by taking on a huge challenge. Once they come back, there will be a light that shines within, a light that tells them that nothing is impossible.
HI Dave,
Those are beautiful. Just amazing. Icouldnt do the one. i dont like heights and I would be afraid of falling off the side.. YIKES!!!! Hope all is well otherwise. I havent been around much lately. Been busy with school.
Wow! That journey looks amazing! I just recently got into hiking but I could never even imagine doing something like this. It looks like it's going to be a wonderful experience. I hope it goes well and safe. :)
Hi Ladies,
Thanks so much for your all your kind comments. So nice to read your warm sentiments. Jenny, the great divide and Appalachian are on the list for them in the next few years. Always a pleasure and thanks again for your visit and wonderful comments. Have a super duper weekend!
Truly amazing--both the pictures and the idea. I guess I'm an armchair traveler when it comes to that intense a hike. Best of luck to them (and to you, too).
