It really was a rewarding experience! We also staffed an aid station in July, for a 40-mile trail run, The McCall Trail Running Classic. The aid station was about a 2.5 mile one-way hike, and (fortunately) all the runners came through during daylight, so it was less of a commitment as far as time went. Here are a few photos from that experience:
Arriving at the aid station…a member of the local ham radio club hiked in with us as well, and set up her antenna on the ridge above our aid station, in case of emergencies:
One of the runners posing with Skippy, good thing we have a goat that is a bit of a "ham" himself!
The last runners to come through, just as we were packing up. I believe this guy was 68 years old!
The runners appreciated the volunteers so much. And we had so much fun, too!--Saph
