James shared

It's Thursday. But last Sunday James did one of his things. A few days before was the longest day of the year - the summer solstice. He had found this hiking group on the internet he had never gone with but decided to sign up for this event - to see the sunrise over the James River.

The alarm rang at 3 am. He left the house at 3:40. Met the others (8 of them making it 9 with him) at 4:24 am to head out.

Not the best sunrise photo ever but James thought it was a nice event nevertheless.

The group leader of the event took this photo and shared it. Needless to say that he was not in it.

Pottystop! The organizer is the gentleman second person on the left.

About 10 miles done. About 8 am.

James was home in time to take a shower and for us to go to the 10 am service as usual. Ha-ha, I almost had gone to the early service. Good thing I was too slow to get myself going. 

Great experience!
