I’m so glad!! It’s been a long time since I’ve been on a hike. Since before Igor, anyway! I miss alla that — especially in the High Desert.

We walked along the shore of Lake Norman, which is a very large reservoir. It was up and down, over tree roots, and so on, medium-strenuous. We went a little over five miles. There was heavy rain yesterday, but it was sunny today, temperature around 60 by noon. Excellent day for it.

The final stage of the Crucible is a 9-mile hike from the training grounds to the Iwo Jima flag raising statue at Peatross Parade Deck. Upon completing this challenge, the recruits are handed their Eagle, Globe and Anchors, symbolizing the completion of their arduous journey to become U.S. Marines.
