Prep Hike before 50-miler

The boys and Jonathan hiked to Lake Melakwa. They hiked in 4 miles on Friday night and made camp, but no campfires were allowed, so everyone turned in around 10. I think the leaders are heavy sleepers as the boys all stayed together out on a big tarp, but there was little sleeping ;) On Saturday morning, they hiked around for 11 miles around the lake and got back to the trail head at 1:30 pm - that's a lot of walking around just to get that many miles in - I'd rather enjoy the scenery and nature.
The lake was beautiful:
Is that enthusiasm I see - it must have been the beginning of the hike ;)
Some falls along the path they were hiking:
Keaton is in front with the red backpack:
In August they are going on a 56 miler with the scouts. I'm super happy to not feel pressure to sign up for that event ;) haha Jonathan might go out - we'll see if he really wants to use his vacation for this sort of thing!!
