This will be my last twenty-miler for these guys. Two guys finish Hiking Merit Badge with this one; after this, I've got two guys who need one more ten-miler, and then I'm basically done. The MB requirements are to do five ten-milers and a twenty-miler, but I will have done eleven ten-milers and two twenty-milers over the last two years to get all these Scouts through their MB.
Right now, I'm just decompressing from this morning's stress. Soon, I'll gather up my personal gear and our crew supplies. We leave at 6:00 p.m. Yay, hikers!
