Red Castle was A LOT of Fun with all these wonderful boys! We hiked in 8 miles last Wednesday to set up camp just as it was getting dark, and then we finished out the 2.5 miles up to Red Castle Thursday morning. Can I just tell you, HIKING not necessarily the right word. These boys SPEED WALK at a FAST pace, so this was no leisurly hike. No, no, I spent the entire hike in walking as FAST as I could the WHOLE way with my pack on!! And then the boys went and hiked up to different lakes everyday as well while I stayed at camp with my blanket, book, and food to RELAX! They brought back lots of yummy fish and stories to tell so we had a great time! We hiked out Saturday afternoon and since the boys totally worked me going in, I decided to give them a run for their money. I led the pack and walked even faster on the way out if that's even possible and then ran the last mile because I just wanted it over with. 10.5 miles is a long way. Will I do it again? Give me a couple years to forget about it and then, maybe.
