200 miles in 6 days and just 1 shirt

Last week was one of the hottest weeks of this boiling hot summer and while I lazily ran from my air-conditioned house to my air-conditioned car to the swimming pool and back, Glen and Spencer with a few young men from the ward embarked on a 200-mile bike ride for a scouting High Adventure.

They started in McKeesport, Pennsylvania on the Great Allegheny Passage Trail and rode 30-50 miles per day.

They saw some big deal, highly touristy sites, like the Eastern Continental Divide which was a big whopping 2200 feet above sea level, wild turkey country, the PawPaw Tunnel, and OhioPyle (which is not in Ohio and does not have any noticeable piles).

There were a few minor injuries along the way, but "The Voo-Doo Witch Doctor" was able to take care of most everything...

After their long days on the trail in the heat and humidity, it was certain that most days ended with a splash (and some ice cream, which Glen totally avoided)...
(Look at my hot husband. He's the fourth one from the left and he is now within 10-lbs. of the weight he was when we got married!)


This picture was just too cool not to throw in here....

Glen also wanted me to put this picture in and point out that it was his first time in a white-water kayak, but personally I found this illustration of his awesome farmer's tan way more interesting than that...

And after five nights of sleeping like this...

On Saturday, there were 2 very happy boys to be back home with AC, homemade food, comfy mattresses, and much better smelling "roommates".

PS Does anyone notice anything about Spencer in all these pictures taken on different days during the week? If you need a hint, look at the title. He actually had the gall to brag about his feat when he got home too.

Thanks to Bruce for being the paparazzi in my absence. :)
