Day 1 - Approach Hike..... 4.4 miles



Today we hiked 44 miles, woops, I mean 4.4 miles (it only felt like 44). The hike was brutal, simply brutal. The changes in elevations are killer. I think I almost passed out on three seperate occasions.

It's easy to think 10 - 20 miles a day (no big deal). Well maybe in Florida, on flat. Here, now, brutal.

It took us 4 1/2 hours to go 4.4 miles.

Seth had a couple of mini-melt downs, also we had to do a repair to his backpack ( he has opted for external frame and a pin popped out).

I was loving using treking poles, but the elevations, wow!

Andrew (our oldest son) was the hero of the day. True and steady. He did a great job helping Seth and me.

MJ, total trooper.

We followed the above lime green blazes to Len Foote Inn (Hikers Inn).
