Tom and Ty's trip to the White Mountains

As some may know, Tom and Ty love to do some serious hiking.  When Ty was 12 they hiked 70 miles of the Appalachian Trail through the Smokey Mountains.  They have done some other hikes along the way, but that was the big one.....six days, five nights.  This was their second big one.  Only this time they headed east to the White Mountains of New Hampshire.  I don't know the miles, but the trip was cut short to four days. They camped in some primitive spots and saw a lot a great views.  Sadly, due to Tom spraining his ankle, they did not climb Mt. Washington like they had hoped.  No regrets though....it was a great time for both of them.  I love that Tom and Ty have this sort of time together.  It will make for great memories for Ty!  Ty talked Tom into driving through New York City on the way home!  They didn't even get out of the car, but they saw Lady Liberty, Central Park, Ground Zero the Empire State Building (I think.)

Glad to have my mountain men home!
