Golden Spike with the Midwest Chapter
Date: October 6, 2008
After getting a good night's sleep in my motel room at the Inca Inn, I was up early again on Monday morning to meet up with some Midwest Chapter members to go an run Golden Spike. We were originally planning on a pretty large group showing up, but because of some setbacks it ended up only being myself, Rev and Susie, and John (lesslimited) and Cindy.
This was my first time running this trail. I was supposed to run it back in 2006 with Ryan (DrMoab), however it never happened.....so I was looking forward to running it this time. It is a long and bumpy trail, so it was for the better that we were a smaller group.

It was a long day on the trail, but I think I can speak for all of us when I say we had a great time :)

Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.
The trout do not rise in the cemetery, so you better do your fishing while you are still alive. SGH
