Day 1918 | Family Adventure Challenge: Part Two
/
We did it! We completed the Virtual Adventure Challenge by wrapping up a 2.4 mile hike this morning up and around Mt. Simon. It was a beautiful morning for a hike…a beautiful weekend for the whole challenge, to be honest. I’m seriously so glad we motivated ourselves to do this. I think it really proved to the boys (and us, too!) that we can do longer bikes/hikes/canoe trips. Both boys declared that they could have even biked longer and are now considering a bike ride to see Grandma about 115 miles away. Haha.
details of what we needed to do on each stage of the challenge:
Stage 1: Run/Hike. 1.5-hours on roads or trails You must visit the following during this stage:
One hilltop or other high point
A water feature (river, lake, marsh, pond, creek, fountain, puddle, etc)
Additionally, you must include at least one substantial bushwhack to get from one trail/road to another. Bonus kudos for planning a route to find your hilltop and/or water feature during the bushwhack!
Stage 2: Bike. 2-hours on roads or trails You must visit the following during this stage:
One bridge
One hilltop or other high point
One point of interest (historical marker, monument, interesting tombstone/tomb in a cemetery, ruin, other curiosities or oddities)
Stage 3: Non-Run/Bike Discipline. 1.5-hours of something that is not running/biking.
Could be paddling, roller blading, swimming, strength training, rock climbing, horseback riding, scootering, skateboarding, stair climbing, etc, or any combination of those activities!
