Wonderful camping weekend

We had a great weekend of camping with Suzanne's family, except for a few mishaps which will not be mentioned here.
Our first morning, my friend and marathon enthusiast, Todd Lehman wanted to go on a short run. We did. 9+ miles of running and a mile or two of walking. Yeah, you know how it goes, you're not planning to go running and then you do. and well, it's only 3 miles to the covered bridge via rough trails. Then, it would be boring to return the same way, so you take another trail, and it's 2.3 miles to the fire tower. Then, our memory fails on where the "shorter" route back to camp starts, vs the 5.3 miles return trip. after a couple loops and returning to the fire tower we do finally find the trail and get back to camp. Surprisingly, I am only a "little" stiff.
The next day, we take all kids and adults (except for two) under 41 on the same trail hike to the covered bridge. 6 miles round trip. The kids did awesome.
A little swimming, mountain biking, and floating down the river on tubes rounds out the weekend.
We are tired, back at my parents, and repacking for Pittsburgh beginning... tomorrow.
