Here's some of the hiking stats from out 50 miler. I think most of them are correct. I got the paper wet that I wrote them all down on, so I couln't read them all. I had to go from memory. But anywho, Seth and I had our GPS's along with us, and we were monitoring the trip computer as we went. It was pretty cool to see the exact data of the trip. I was getting a little different numbers than he was, but not off by too far, and probably just the differnce in the accuracy of the satalites. It seemed that we were getting about 20 ft. of accuracy on a good part of the trail. In the end I think we both had around 42 miles. Tecnically people that havn't been along with us on this 50 miler would think. What? only 42 miles? Why would you call it a 50 miler. We'll I know it may be somewhat of a stretch and just a justification to many people, but with all the hiking we do around camp, and to and from the lakes, we for sure get close to 50 miles. So there... it's still a 50 miler. ;) Brian and I actually wen't on a little hike on tuesday when we didnt have anything better to do, and we visited Uintah Lake. It was a good 2 miles there and back. We also usually hike to Shamrock lake too which is a bit farther, and a good little fishing trip. It didn't work out for us this time.. I guess we just ran out of time.

The normal hike we would hike all 6 days, but we decided the first day to mash the second day into the hike, so we could have all tuesday to fish all we wanted, and the 5th day instead of stopping at our usuall Brown Duck location, we actually hiked all the way out to Moon Lake. That's the reason you only see 4 days of hiking up there. All in all it was a good and very tiring hike for us all. We were all (with the exception of Trent) burnt out at the end of every hike and often long before the end of every hike.

So there ya have it... some fun little stats.

50 Miler Fish Log

	Margie Lake	Rosalie Lake	Uintah Lake	Phinney Lake	Squaw Lake	Total
Alan	21	15	-	14	-	50
Seth	7	22	-	13	5	57
Brian	5	6	1	12	1	25
Tysen	12	66	-	11	4	93
Chad	74	16	4	12	3	109
Trent	18	33	-	25	5	81
Total	147	158	5	87	18	415

Thought I'd post the fishing log. We all had a great time and as you can see, caught a lot of fish. 415 total to be exact. We only ended up cooking fish on Tuesday and Wednesday night, so out of the 415 fish we caught we let 411 go.

I can't remember if we've ever caught more fish out of Rosalie than Margie, but we did this year. We can blame that on Tysen, he was catching them there like crazy. We did end up spending a lot of time there though. They just fight a little better than the ones caught out of Margie.

Squaw lake was pretty slow again, but we love the lake cause of the size of fish. Both Trent and Seth caught really big fish. Seth has a good picture of his fish, but once Trent's fish hit the shore he flipped his way loose. :(

Homecoming

Day 1 hitting the trail

Chad caught 109 fish, he caught the most. He is such a good fisherman.

The boys at Rocky Sea Pass

Chad is home. Thank heavens. We missed him SO much!!! We went and picked him up yesterday at Moon Lake with Amanda, Cambree, Millie, Collin and Diane. The kids did great on the ride. The boys looked so good. I think that everyone looked a little leaner when we picked them up. Chad said that he did really well this year as far as energy and stamina. Brian and Tyson both said that they would do it again. I am so proud of all of them for doing it. Most people wouldn't do it more than once let alone enjoy it.

Day 3 of the 50 Miler

Well today they starting hiking again. We haven't heard anything from them and most likely won't because they hardly ever get any service up there. We miss Chad terribly. Tennis has noticed he has been gone a lot more than I thought he would. I have tried to teach him that daddy is hiking. I ask him where is daddy and he will sometimes respond "hik'n". This morning he woke up and went into the spare room where the computer is and stood there with his hand on the computer chair saying dada. I came in and found him there and tried to remind him where daddy was and coax him out of the room. But he just stood there and shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the computer. I turned it on and he still wasn't passified. It makes me miss Chad even more when Tennis notices he is gone. We only have until Saturday. Yeah. I hope he isn't dying up there.

Day 2 of the 50 Miler

Rocky Sea Pass
Rosalie Lake

Well they actually hiked two days in one yesterday so they have been at Rosalie and have already passed Rocky Sea Pass. But they are most likely fishing Rosalie today. We miss Chad so much. Last night Tennis wondered around the house at around 6ish saying "Dada" and looking for Chad. He misses daddy.
