Hoehn Adventures

We, Karen and Dana have been friends since our daughters were 6 and they are now 36! We just clicked as teammates our first year and never thought about doing the rally with anyone else. Each year we feel the pull of the competition, the challenge and the pride of accomplishment. That’s what keeps us coming back!
