1,550 miles around Lake Superior, on foot
"Happily, we didn't suffer any injuries," Link said. However, Link's knees, which he's had problems with before, suffered from the day-to-day terrain. The hikers used hybrid trekking poles, which helped keep balance and take pressure off knees. This photo was taken in late August on the Sibley Peninsula, in Ontario.
