Summer of 2008

Okay folks!!! So here is the truth, we are going to tell ya all about what a McDee summer is all about... At least for the '08 season. The plan is to change it up every year, uh-huh, that's correct we have the onward and upward idea.
So, for starters of the season, we went on this crazy, intense, mega-freakin-scary hike-O-rama. Conducted by a few of our personal favorites, Shay Jackson and the sexy one, McDee himself. They had this "plan" to try and ran every loved one of theirs to their death!!!! JK :) Seriously though, this hike was like none other. The requirements showed nesecary equipment being: rope, climbing gear, kayak, 300 sav, thanksgiving feasts, extra socks, 100 gallons of H2O, WARM sleeping bags, and advil. Luckily, we went with the KANAB men. Therfore we only needed a tissue and a few granola bars with one water bottle! We were SET!!! Here we go on our 15 mile hike.
It was beautiful! Slot canyons getting deep all the way down... wait, did the guide say anything about waterfalls?? It didn't. Were there some anyway??? OH YEAH!!! Only a 15 footer, a 20 footer, and the big mama 50 footer! NO BIGGIE!!! We're with KANAB men!! After 15 miles of slot canyons, waterfalls, back pack zip lines, tip-toing a one inch ledge on a sriaght up cliff, falling into a 45 degree river, we came to the opening!! Finally.... We had reached... The next half of our hike!!!! 30 Miles later and 2 in the morning, we realized guides can be somewhat deceving. All-in-all, the trip was one GIANT successful adventure!! The Barracks is no hike for amatuers, wussies, or someone cannot grow a beard!! It's one of challenge, endurance, and excellence. Good job to all of the finalists!!
