Our first day took us through 2 states and over 700 miles. We were able to raise the "Silently Fallen" flag at 2 State Highpoints, Ohio's Campbell Hill (1550 ft) and Indiana's Hoosier Hill (1257 ft). I'm going to go on a limb and say the team is relaxing and having a great time judging by the amount of laughter, wise cracks and well... farts in the car. We actually had to pause for a moment and make sure we weren't actually deployed and on a patrol because the childish banter was very familiar!!!

We will spend the night in Kansas City and continue our journey tomorrow.

THE 2015 SFS Ohio to Colorado Highpoint Expedition:

In just a few days members from the Ohio Chapter, Summit for Soldiers Veteran's Mountaineering Club will head out to hit as many State high points from Ohio to Colorado. The main objective will be Mount Elbert (14, 430 ft), the tallest mountain in Colorado and the 2nd highest in the lower 48. This will also be a memorial hike for our fallen member Maj. Chris Thomas.
