fun fact about Godliberator, Eagle scout in the Boy Scouts of America. Did plenty of hiking and backpacking and wilderness survival and orienteering and more things dealing with rope than I really want to mention....was it fun? yea. Did it also suck? Most Definitely. my longest hike was a 30 mile backpacking hike down the Platte river in Colorado for a river cleanup hike.....it was one of the most beautiful, exciting, fun, painful, and grueling, experiences I have ever went through. would I do it again? probably not ever, but I did have a lot of fun. Personally Ropes courses, Zip-lining, rock walls, and repelling were much more enjoyable than hiking, but thats just my personal opinion.....also less bears on the side of a mountain than on a trail....just a side point.
