Walk On

A father and son stroll? Not quite.

Mike and Jackson Lindley hiked 50 states in 50 days this summer, beginning in Hawaii July 6 and ending in their home state of California August 25 at the Eagles Falls Trail in South Lake Tahoe, Calif. Although they talk about the bonding they did while treking, it is hard to believe they were ever very far apart despite the 36 years separating the 12-year-old and his father. As father Mike puts it on the video of their last hike, "Now it's time to plan our next adventure ... It's going to be big."

It doesn't appear he is thinking only of dealing with the teenage years.
