Thursday, August 9th, I hike the Zion Narrows with Juge, Lance, Eden and Noah.  It was kind of a last fling before back to school.  It was something I had always wanted to do and it was both SPECTACULAR and strenuous.  It was 18 miles - felt like more - and full of beautiful spots.  I left my house to meet them at Zion at 5:30 am and got back to my house that night at 11:30 pm.  We did the hike in just short of 12 hours.  Eden and Noah were really impressive.  They just kept keeping on.  My feet got a little heavy toward the end and I did a couple of spectacular splats, but was just bruised and not broken.  Glad I got that one off my bucket list!  Glad they let me tag along!
