So happy to be eating

The long trail.

So far so good

 

He really started to feel the burn.

Noah was unfazed by any of the hike.  Uncle Nate nicknamed him 2 1/2 after they concluded that he had 2 hearts, 2 sets of lungs, but only half a brain.

Austin stayed steady

Landon of course was a machine the entire time, he must be a teenager trapped in an old man's body. Ha!

 

Nate was called Tortoise because he was usually the last one to stroll into camp, but he did manage to out do the whippersnappers with 25 push ups with his pack on after entering camp.  The young bucks were quite impressed.

The shelter

 Noah came up with the 100 ankle hop for Nate to do after he showed them up with the pushups.  Nate had sprained his ankle so Noah took advantage of his weakness and showed him up.

Just the boys

 

Evan had found his stride and Noah must have snuck some energy drinks in that innocent looking water bottle.
