      Absolutely true SherpaJohn. That sure seems to be proving true for the flags event too.

      Hey? Isn’t Ken (Cops on Top?) traveling from NY also?
      He may be the only competition, thus far, for Tom and Laurie’s record setting mileage.
      😮

            Dirt and I travel about 220 from north central CT – he is actually in MA but comes for breakfast before leaving town! 😀

              I have some friends I’m trying to get to particpate. They live in Oregon and Washington, so the challenge is on!

                Jay – Issues or no… please enter your state? You are one of maybe three people living in the entire state of RI!
                A zero just looks so pathetic, come on?
                😕 😀
                TrekMan – that must be some kind of breakfast for Dirt to travel to CT for! I don’t think backtracking for breakfast counts as actual miles. However, you travel a respectable distance, grasshoppers.
                😮 😀
                Chris – I think the folks from Oregon and Washington would take the mileage record… the challenge is them getting here!!! The mileage would be as the crows fly, of course?

                      Hi Amberlin.
                      I hope you cast a vote for each state!?!?
                      😉
                      How very cool that your family is coming together from different places for this 9/11 Memorial hike.
                      Welcome and Thank you for participating!!

                      Keep poking around the site… there is tons of information to be found and some very wise people to visit with.

                        D-G … when Dirt and I cook it is always worth a 15-minute drive. Remember that we have bottled a homebrew (Blueberry Flume) and plan to drag the growlers with us to KOA. We will test the batch soon to see how it came out.

                          I haven’t forgoten yet and am looking forward to the treat!

                          Breakfast is important. Testing a batch of beer, is way more important. I’m sure you’ll find it most tasty. Need another tester?!

                            He lives in Queens and he’s going to Kinsman, so I plugged in Lincoln and got 327 miles!

                            So, it’s pretty close! I guess we’ll go by our odometers! 😀

                                  Okay, I’m not great at math but even I can figure this one out!
                                  There are over 250 hikers particapating
                                  in this years event and only 20
                                  have responded to the poll ?!?! 😮

                                  What is that… 8 percent!! 😥
