Nice! Last year we met a guy near Indian Lake who was 76 (or was it 78?) He told us that the year before, he finished the 46 for the 19th time! I don't know if that was true but he looked like he was still in great shape, we walked together for a while and he had quite a good pace for his age.

With only 11 completed at the rate I am going I will be over 90 by the time I'm through.
I had better start thinking which one to leave for last!!! |

Wonderful story. It's heart-warming to see that he is able to do it and even better that he uses his hiking to raise money for a kids' camp. More power to him!
