I'm actually doing double duty - I'm a cubmaster for a brand new pack nearby. They just started up and no one had any idea how the program worked so I said I would give them a year. It's rewarding, but it keeps the schedule full. Over the summer it was crazy trying to get even a 1/2 day to spend with my wife. In April they are on there own, but they'll be ready.Way to go, DUG! The rewards go both ways. Everyone benefits when you do things like that.
And your 5-day hike finishing at 1 AM is NOT cheating. You ARE on the trail 5 consecutive days.
I've actually started a multi-day backpack by hiking several hours starting about 8 PM. Gives everyone a chance to break-in the walking legs, plus helps with a good nights sleep the first night.
