    So, where was that nap taken? Were the accommodations good?

    What flavor of shake did you have at Stan’s? Did you have fries or onion rings with your burger?

    • Blake Merrell

      Nap accommodations could have been better LOL My buddies truck isn’t the most comfy thing to sleep in. And I go the Hot fudge & Marshmallow Creme shake with the Canyon Burger and fries! YUUUUUUUUUMMY!

  • Blake Merrell

    LOL , First things first I never set any kind of bar haha… all you other die hards out there did this way before I did…. Ive even heard of people doing HEAPS and IMLAY in a single day! Now that is something worth braggin’ about Trust me, we were THRILLED just to complete this route safely.

    And secondly, I hope you do a little more lallygaging around Definitely take a Nap. (we did! it was much needed Im on your side Mountaineer! I was just happy to finish!

  • penmartens

    You see that Mountaineer ‘liked’ your post. He and I are on the Dark Pookas of Endeavor team. I am afraid that he saw your time and is going to think we can lallygag around, take a nap, have a picnic, read up on the history of Ireland, etc.

    Don’t think I don’t see what you’re doing .

    • Mountaineer

      Blake has set the bar high…again…

      I’ll just be happy to complete, regardless of time.

  • penmartens

    psssst. You aren’t supposed to reveal your time until after the Jihad is over for everyone.

    Congrats! Thanks for sharing so enthusiastically.
