I haven't been to a Hickory Run training weekend in years and this one did not disappoint. The only thing that's really changed is that - I'm older! :) It was great to see so many young folks taking part, too.One of my favorite moments from the weekend (aside from the showstopping woods themselves and great courses by Sandy F) was a conversation I had with a young man of about 14 years old, who came back from his course without any shoes. He had lost them to a mucky area - failed in retrieving them - but got himself all the way back wearing only socks. He showed me on the map the swampy area in question, and it was quite far away from camp. I commended him on his tenacity, of course.Thanks for inviting me to share yoga, as well. We had a wonderful group of almost 15 people and I hope we can grow this aspect of the event for next year, if there is interest. It feels good to give back to a club that has been "in the family" for decades. I'm so grateful to feel a part of the interesting, whacky, smart, and fun group of O friends through DVOA.Next year I hope to NOT lose my car keys or run off of the map! :)
