The Ultimate Adventurer!

 I've posted a few times (here) about the Weekend Adventurer / My Adventure Challenge thing.  They offer a series of hiking challenges; you log your miles, and they provide a patch.  It's fun, and there's a Facebook community.


Anyway, I started January 1, 2023, with the Hiker's 365 challenge, to hike 365 miles in 365 days.  This was a really good experience for me, inspired me to get off my tush and moving.  As I was winding that up, I started with the 4x seasonal challenges:  Winter 100, Spring Fling, Blazing Summer and Fall 50.  I completed the last of these recently.  The completion of these 5 challenges gets you another patch, The Ultimate Adventurer.  I received that patch today:


It's een a fun 22 months. and I plan to keep on going to finish a 2nd 365 miles for this year.  After that, I'll have to find some other motivation to keep going.

Meanwhile here's a few photos from yesterdays (short) hike at The Gardens At SIUE:
