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. :)

That looks like such a blast!
Ha ha! I love that he only wore one shirt. That's what high adventure is all about!
For some reason that doesn't surprise me that Spence only wore one shirt :)
I really like that underwater picture of Spence and the jumping in the water picture too! They're pretty awesome!
Looks like they had fun!
Some scouts in my stake rode from Pittsburgh to DC last week. Crazy!!
It's got to be a teenage boy thing. Obviously, being stinky just doesn't bug them that much. It starts with only wearing one pair of underwear for days at a time when you're a kid, blah, blah, blah.
What a great activity!
Such a neat high adventure activity. Heard of many over the years to include: island hopping in a sailboat in the Carribean, canoeing in the boundary waters of northern Minnesota, hiking in the remote Rockies, etc., etc. But, this is one of the best.
Not to worry, it won't be long before Spencer discovers "girls" and will begin to bathe regularly, change shirts and underwear frequently, etc.
Glen sure looks fine for a man "almost" forty years of age!
1 shirt? Eeeewww. Poor guys sleeping next to him. Or maybe it didn't matter. They probably all stink!
I would love to take a bike ride like that sometime. Do you wanna join me?
That's why they call it high adventure.
