Walking into Camp – Finally, after walking 19.6 miles, we came to the end of our first day. Angie and I questioned the accuracy of the signs posted that read “Pit Stop – 1 Mile Ahead” – it always seemed more like 2 miles. Due to the trail layout, our last pit stop in Shoreview was our final stop – we were bused to our camp at Harvest Park in Maplewood. After the 20 minute bus ride, we hobbled off the bus and entered camp to the loud and excited cheers of the crew who were lined up on both sides of the path to welcome each and every walker into camp. It never got old walking into camp and being welcomed. It made me feel a sense of accomplishment – just having walked 20 miles that day! It was amazing to see all the crew standing there in a line on each side of the walk, cheering like they just got there and were so proud of each walker!
