​In Trip 2 we set off from Gooseberry Falls and make our way 103.3 miles to Lutsen, MN. We travel along the Superior Hiking Trail (SHT). This event is also known as the Sawtooth 100. It's named for the elevation profile resembling a saw blade with teeth that seemingly never end. I hope you enjoy My Superior 2019 Story.

There are many more than have been named that I would like to acknowledge for both Superior 2019 and this reading of "A Tale of Two Trips - My Superior 2019 Story".

In this chapter I acknowledge some. Katie, Jesse, Hannah, Elli, John Storkamp, John Gustafson, All the volunteers, Amy and Jason Husveth, Carl Bliss, Kelly, Ron and Karen, Nain and Anna, Isaac, Zavier, Tom and Nancy, Eric, Israel, Prayers from family at home. Music credit in chapter 1 goes to Lauren Daigle. Music credit in chapter 2-20/acknowledgements) goes to Adrian Von Ziegler.

While I'm not entirely sure when the next story will start, if you'd like to be notified via email of my next recording opt in below.  Thank you for listening and I hope my Superior story was able to inspire you to never stop finding your edge!

​You could see the lights of the finish line off in the distance and hear the cheering for each runner as they came in.

We’re at the point now where we start listening for the river.  That’s a good place to be at Superior. ​

"Elli, it was a pleasure to share the trail with you.  The road into the aid station is the longest road ever!"

My pace was slow and my heart was full with Hannah pulling me along and Katie encouraging me with words of praise and praise music.

Cramer to Temperance was almost mystical as the sun continued to penetrate the trees and lit up the trail in a broken glow. ​

He said what he said with an empathetic confidence in me that I would get up and finish this thing.​

​The sleep is always a factor here.  The hurt is another.  It would be much more comfortable to hop in the car and head to the lodge for a nap and a donut.

​The lack of sleep and the weight of the night begin to affect us here at Crosby.
