Streakers!

Postby joe bartels » Jun 04 2012 10:30 pm

johnlp and Dave1 have hammered out over 100 days! consecutive hiking and I'm beginning to wonder if they will ever stop?

A couple years ago I got in a fraction of what they are doing. My now pathetic streak was mainly a mental challenge. Neither of these guys seems shaken yet and I'm in awe as each day passes.

After a hundred days it looks like I could maybe hang with Dave on Squaw on his third ascent :y:

And to make it even more impressive, they aren't just doing a mile or two a day, they are racking up some serious miles and elevation to boot.... :worthy: Of course, some of that can be blamed on the kind of company they're keeping, getting dragged into the GC on day hikes and such.... :sl:

Yeah, jobs? I'm lucky to get 45 min of biking in the a.m. on weekdays. You won't see me doing much this year. I have way too much on my plate. A lot of yardsales in my future.

I do have a 25 day Grand Canyon river rafting trip in the fall to look forward to, thankfully! But I doubt I will do very much hiking--just here and there on random weekends. I ride my bike up a hill every morning, if I make time for it that is.

Those guys have never looked tired after any of the hikes I've done with them. Bravo!

Has anyone taken a look at the one Hiker who has managed to stay quietly in the Background? I'll give you a hint. Her avatar is in the Reptile/Amphibian family.... : app :
