We hit the 10.5 mile point of our 15 mi hike today at 1:00 pm, exactly on schedule. Having the “carrot” of eating lunch at the Winking Lizard certainly helped keep the mood up.

After a long day working on their Archeology Merit Badge, the scouts were still primed and pumped to stop and indulge their photo-happy scoutmaster.
