In addition to being two great folks to hike with. I have always appreciated that they post many of their hikes on VFTT and are welcoming to newcomers. Long ago that was the norm on this site but of late they are an exception although a few folks are trying to bring back this tradition.
It takes attributes like being focused, and energetic, and dedicated, etc to accomplish a feat such as this. You two have what it takes! Congratulations!
