Wilderness Walk: One Step Closer

Not a whole lot of news other than the grains of sand slowly passing through the hourglass as we patiently await the dropping of the puck.  Today, we're another day closer to that.  The last days always seem like the longest, but we are doing our best to abridge that time for you as we keep on with the 25-under-25 series that will lead us into camp.  We are definitely in the final stretch now so just stay with us a bit longer.

We Walk.
