Fourteen: 1st Annual Black Hills Walk for Arthritis

Saturday, July 13, brought a new tradition to the Black Hills. The Arthritis Foundation held its first walk on the west side of the state. As is the case with most first year walks, the turnout was somewhat smaller than established walks.


Thanks, Melinda, for bringing this walk to my attention--and congratulations on being the top fundraiser. Woot, woot!!




 It was great to be walking along Rapid Creek since the weather was hot and humid as it has been so much this summer.



















Tanner thought the walk would never end.






Luckily for him, some flooding shortened the original route from three miles to two.






 







We were all glad to make it back to the Old Storybook Island Shelter where there was water and snacks waiting for us.














 


Next up is my first time at the Brandon Delzer Walk in Sturgis. Hope to see you there!
