Here is a news article from the Petoskey New Review. I and three other NCTA titabawasee chapter members met with Mr. Hansen a month or so ago to discuss ...
... I don't know about that trail advocate part - seems that the way the article focuses on cost, it makes even folks like me cringe. I read the headline,...
Oh, Andy, this is just a straight ahead news article that realistically approaches the cost involved in building highly developed multi-use "trailways" through...
Sure there may be some local tax money involved, probably for matching grant money, but the bulk is coming from the Feds via M-DOT in the form of a T-21 Grant,...
Now, doesn't this sound a lot better than, "Taxpayers to foot the bill for recreation trail... City taxpayers will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to...
Hello, Due to conflicts, 3 of our students have had to withdraw from the course. Please check out our schedule on the Calendar of www.solaroutdoors.org...
[ We all enjoy hiking and many of us enjoy eating so I suspect Dave Auge's first Quesiton of the Week submission will generate some interesting disucssion....
... I personally wouldn't take a companion dog into conditions where there was a possibility of a fatal accident, but if the dog was a "working dog" that was...
... I don't know if coming off the trail I have the same opinion of an establishment as I would on any given day when I'm not hiking. The bottom line is after...
What favorite trails do you have with good eats nearby? For hiking here in the Grayling area, my most likely post hike/ski/snowshoe eats location is the famed...
Being a fancier of the burger-and-beer menu for après hike, I heartily second Rob Burg's nomination of Spike's Keg O' Nails in Grayling as a noshing spot. In...
" What favorite trails do you have with good eats nearby?" Well, I've heard some classics so far (except for Taco Bell) in my opinion. There are a few that I...
First we have the guy pushing his wife off the Pictured Rocks section of the NCT. Now we have this guy using the Wilderness State Park section of the NCT...
I don't get it, Dave. Admittedly, the two guys you mention may have brought a touch of notoriety to areas the NCT traverses. But how does that "ruin" a NTC...
OK maybe my attempt at black humor really only applies to the woman who was pushed off the NCT as it runs along the PR clifftops. You're right...it's not clear...
I certainly feel like a complete slob here. I usually look for the first place which looks like they have low enough standards to let in a stinking hiker. It...
I don't worry too much about stinking up the place. If they are at trail's end they will accomodate us. Two examples: 1. The Bluebird in Leland serves a...

... Lunch time is a good time for answering this question. Most of my thoughts go to places out of state. In Vermont along the Long Trail, there is the Long...
Yep, the queue is about empty of Questions of the Week. I may go back and ask a question or two that's not been dealt with in quite some time, but if you all...

Andy is dead on right when he notes that standard changes when coming off a big mileage day or a whole bunch of days hiking. Then you are just looki ng for...
I'll second this one. I've not had breakfast (not stayed overnight there either), but the dinners are mighty fine if a bit pricy but the standards we're...
Hey Siler- I keep trying to send you our chapter email notices but they keep coming back. Sorry to do this on a message board, but could you email me and...
... Ah yes... that would be "Tony's I-75." Get off at exit #136 (Birch Run) on I-75 and head west. In less than 1/4 mile, just past the gas station on the...
... I didn't mean to imply that I stayed at the Harbor Haus B&B either. When in Copper Harbor, I've only stayed at the King Copper Hotel (right next to the...
