Wow. Very impressive. Excellent video footage also. Loved "Hi Dad" at the end of your adventure like you just got back from a casual walk in the park. Congratulations

Such an excellent adventure and trip report!

Super story. Made me think of my crazy running son. This is his kind of fun, a couple years ago he did the rim to rim to rim in the Grand Canyon. I’m sending him this YouTube link, he and his Duluth friends might really like this idea.

Thanks! I was so happy to see my Dad-- you may not have heard it in my voice. But with Covid I hardly get to hang out with him and I really miss him. Getting to do this with him and having him there at the end was perfect. Thanks for watching!

I contemplated a run like this in my younger days but I don’t think I could do it now—Maybe two days for me. Awesome!
