Hannah's 50 miler

Hannah is a member of a BSA Venturing Crew. Their superactivity this summer was a 50 miler. Since it is co-ed, they also have to have a female leader attend these activities. Guess who got recruited? Luckily it was not all hiking or I don't think I would be walking today. We did 28 miles hiking over 4 days in Desolation Wilderness which is west of Lake Tahoe then we picked up kayaks at South Lake Tahoe and kayaked 34 miles from south shore to north shore over 4 days...for a total of 8 days and 62 miles. We started on the Pacific Crest Trail which actually runs from Mexico to Canada (and we actually met some people that started in Mexico 2 months ago and will be arriving in Canada in another 2 1/2 month) just off of Hwy 50 and hiked up and over the mountain range and down into the Tahoe basin. We saw some beautiful country although the mosquitos were horrible the first couple of days. It was an enjoyable trip although I was extremely grateful to return home and sleep in my own bed. I am hoping to do the pictures as a slideshow but have never done that before so hope it works.
