Climb to Conquer Cancer, Saturday, Feb 28, 7:00 AM

Didn't we just do this?

The American Cancer Society is setting up for the 2009 Climb to Conquer. We had a good time last year (seems like that was just last week?) so why not go again. About a 5 mile walk up the road to the top, 2.5 miles down the back way.

Pooches welcome!

Lunch at The Farm afterwards.

Any great ideas for T-Shirt art? Gotta be black and white, simple is better than complicated.

Register, donate and order t-shirt size online. I'll pick up the Tshirts and bring them to the event or get them to you before hand.

Heads up every one! The T shirts are ugly olive green this year! If you are totally opposed, you may want to consider bringing last years pretty purple one! Looking forward to this! And lunch at the Farm afterward!!!!

Diane,
Could you pick up my t=shirt for me. I'll be working but will put in a hike later in the day towards my pledges.
Thanks.

Mission accomplished, again. Doesn't really seem like a year since the last time we did this, but it was a good day in the outdoors. No wildflowers this year, which seems odd, we had lots of them last year. And we've had rain. ???? Tod it was great to meet your mother at lunch at The Farm. Also, nice to meet you Deborah and Antwon (sp?).

Thank you everyone for coming out and supporting this.

Shawn, Thanks for bringing the awesome cinnamon rolls!
The walk was very well organized and well worth the drive.
Hope to see everyone in the near future!

Yeah...being as I got there just on time, missed out on the yummy cinnamon rolls Rolling Eyes

I'm sure I'll get a chance to enjoy another time (hopefully).

The Day was just gorgeous and so nice to be out in that fresh air again. As a kid I was always outside. Thanks so much Shawn for all your hard work on getting us organized and this together.

Nice to see everyone again and had a really great time despite the crowds up and down.
Think I did this a little faster this time Surprised

Although going up hill is my hardest, I think. But it was a good walk today and we did it for a good reason other than we wanted to hike. Wink

Enjoyed meeting Antione (sp) and your Mom Todd. It was a great day for Hiking

Hope to see all again on another outing soon.

Now where is that Hot Tub I don't own !!! Rolling Eyes

It would feel really good

Well I looked for you guys on the hike, but I didn't see anyone. Although, my family and I went to the farm and saw Shawn and Michelle. I saw a few of you also, but when I got up to say hi, you guys vanished. Oh well. Great day for hiking. It was crowded today, for a good cause! Have a great weekend!
