Happy Father’s Day to this wonderful dad! Here’s to many more exciting adventures in the future!

We finally did it! After being forced off the trail last year, @alisons_wonderland and I were able to finish the Maryland Challenge! 41+ miles on a beautiful day. Thanks to the amazing @alykaufman for inspiring us to successfully navigate this hike and for sticking with us despite our slow, tired legs.
