One hundred years ago, two women, referred to as girl hikers in the News Tribune, completed a 168-mile route from Minneapolis to the McKay Hotel, then located in downtown Duluth.
It was an eight-day trek for Lottie Wolstad and Eleanor Bill of the Minneapolis Hiking Club. They were described in the News Tribune as arriving in town with their khaki hiking costumes covered with heavy dust. They were said to have unslung their packs and surprised the room clerk when they said they were from Minneapolis.
Nope.
They re the 2021 Minnesota Vikings working on gridiron improvements instead of marching in the name of intergalactic dominance.

Longtime Vikings Equipment Manager Dennis Ryan said Head Coach Mike Zimmer brought up the idea as a way to try to reduce the effects of incidental contact while still providing protection.
An accidental helmet to the thigh, especially at a time of year when players aren t wearing pads, could essentially wipe out the remaining on-field participation during OTAs to allow muscles to rehab.
