We traveled 3400 miles; that’s over 8 million steps. We had 28 participants and set a record for individual mileage. We had a very close finish with Peter Jones walking 465 miles, Steve Martin going 504 miles, and Dennis Renick finishing with only 2 miles more at 506 miles. Dennis won two tickets for this month’s Exquisite Cuisine. Well done everyone. I hope you all enjoyed our virtual travels as much as I did. Thank you so much for making this program a success.
