Arizona, California, Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah sent their two best warriors to the Golden State April 23-26 to pit their abilities against the best for that region. The temperatures were just right and each troop found out if they had enough energy, water and the proper break-in on their boots.
