Way back in June I blogged about why I hadn't been sharing any pictures of the medals I earned. It's because I signed up for the long course on the Amazon challenge.
To sum up some of what I said back in June, I thought that because so many of my Paladin League books are set in the Amazon Rainforest, that I would walk the full route. What I didn't realize is that the course was on the actual river and that there were no pictures.
That's why I signed up for the long route, to get all kinds of rainforest images.
I did try to switch to the shorter route when I realized my mistake, but the app didn't allow me to get a medal, so I reverted to the long route and kept going. I'm all about the bling! And as you can tell from the picture, it's very pretty bling.
You better believe that going forward, I'll be signing up for the shorter route every time. I won't make this mistake again. :-)
Concurrently, I also earned my Challenge 2024 medal.
I believe the names on the ribbon are the people who designed the medal. IIRC, this is a contest that the company puts out each year for designs.
