I just saw the three hikers over a cup of coffee in Devin’s back yard.

There was some serious learning and growing going on in the last 3 weeks.

These guys now how more experience hiking in their years than I ever accumulated in mine and I am proud of them.

It was scary at times. They lost weight. They gained confidence. They appreciate the good things we all take for granted. And I sense it was the hardest thing any of them ever did. And it was certainly harder than the hardest thing that I ever did.

My hat is off.
