I was shocked to hear the kids packed a total of 10-12 miles the first day, only to pack the remaining 2 miles back out the following day. This provided quite the teaching opportunities for Father & Children, as they were tired and getting cranky several miles into the trip. Jimmy kept encouraging them, telling them he believed they could go farther than they thought. They were SO delighted when they made it to the 2nd lake and didn't have a single complaint the 5 miles back to camp. They were absolutely giddy when they got home and began telling me of their trip....well, minus the mosquito bite part. One section was so infested that they ended up with countless bites & some unfortunate allergic reactions. Another great backpacking/bonding adventure!
