Scott and Brad take on Aravaipa

My boys, ready to go!

Brad with his pack, I'm guessing it weighed close to 20 lbs.


Brad and his cousin, Trevor, also one of his best friends


Here's where they slept, remember, they had to carry everything

A lot of the hike was walking through water as deep as 2-3 feet.

Taking a break

Hiking through the water

At first, the boys thought hiking through water was fun! Until they got tired and realized it was hard work!


Brad holding a frog the boys found

Here's a close up of the frog. Cute.

In this next picture, you can see they had no dry land to walk on, they had to walk through the water!

We were so proud of Brad for completing this hike. It wasn't easy, but he was a trooper and did it without complaining! He can't wait to go again!!!
