50 Miler patch

Here it is! My 50 miler award for hiking at least 50 miles on separate segments of the Cumberland Trail through Tennessee.

Gary Ruetenik and I were trying to be the 1st and 2nd people to achieve this patch but someone from Memphis beat us by 2 days, so we were the 2nd and 3rd.

We hiked 12.2 miles last Tuesday for Gary to go over the 50 mile mark. I was 1.3 miles short so I did another section of the trail on Wednesday by myself to get to the goal.

We have recommended to the Cumberland Trail Conference folks to establish a 100 mile award so we can shoot for that next.

Happy hiking!
