1. Trail bloggers are dirty rotten liars. They say the route is "easy" and only "5 hours round trip" so that you will think they are "awesome!". They are not.
2. If you dig long enough you can find an accurate discription of the route...ohh more like 10 hours round trip over rough terrain. This will only happen once you are home.
3. You can push your children much harder than you would have thought when there is no other choice.
4. My kids are awesome! (unlike the dirty liars mentioned above)
5. If you say "hey, we are almost there" enough times you will lose all credibilty with your children.
6. Seeing your 3 year old 6 hours into the hike will get you incredulous looks from every one you meet.
7. You can buy them packs and load them up but this just means that you will be carrying 3 packs simaltanously. (awkward)
8. Being stuck in a 2 man tent with an exhausted, overwrought 3 year old is what horror movies are made of.
9. My kids rock!
10. Just when you think you've ruined your kids and they are going to hate hiking forever. They say that they would do it again. But only if Daddy comes to carry the gear and Mommy isn't allowed to pick the route. lol
11. In spite of 1 - 10, it was a great trip!
