Gratitude to the Land

Folks, this is an easy and flat ruck on an established path along the Connoquenessing Creek in Zelienople. We will meet at the trail head located in the Los Mayas Mexican Restaurant. In the spirit of Gratitude and Thanksgiving, I may or may not have a beer in a tactical can jacket. This will only be a two mile ruck. This is a patchable event. I will order patches from GORUCK for all of those interested. The patches will be $6 a piece.
Choose a route that gets you out into nature and identify five natural waypoints along the way: a great tree, a stream or lake, an open clearing, a hilltop, or simply a place where you can stop and listen. At each waypoint, take a moment to notice your surroundings and reflect on something worth being grateful for: the land, the water, the plants and animals, the sky above you, or the community around you. Then complete a simple movement together (for instance: squats, push-ups, ruck presses, or even just a silent stretch…it’s your call) before moving on.
At the end of the ruck, gather together for a circle of thanks. Take a few moments to appreciate the land that carried you, the people who shared the miles with you, and everything you have to be grateful for.
