Hi there, A few of us are going to hike Waterloo-Pinckney Trail, whole "thing" 36 miles, on Fri/Sat/Sun, June, 12,13,14. I would like to invite you to join...
LOL - forwarded it to my husband and he responded with, "ooo... thanks for the idea!" At least it works occasionally... ;) ________________________________ ...

I have always been interested in Hoist lakes trails, skied a little of them once. I am planning to take my son up there next week on a 2 night trip. We are...
If you like swimming in Superior, than August would be the best time. Where the river from Big Beaver runs into Superior is about the best swimming spot along...
Hoist lakes is a great place for newbies. We went there last weekend with two new hikers, my 11 year old son and they all enjoyed it. (Even though it rained...
First or second week in September is my favorite. No flies and the temps are usually pretty good. Water is still somewhat reasonable as well, but never really...
That's the hike Andy, Doug B, John, and I did last fall. I still have a bunch of material to share about that hike in the form of audio and some video. ** Ken...
While Andy Mytys will probably disagree I think August is a fine time to visit PIRO. I can easily imagine September/October being a very good time to go as if...
I usually get bitten more by skeeters cutting the lawn at home than out in the woods. I have found that backpacking is best before and after black fly...
Great info on biting insects with wings at pictured rocks web site: http://www.nps.gov/piro/planyourvisit/insects.htm Fred "keep yer stick on the ice and if...
If you come in from the west end, Byron Lake is only 1.5 miles from the parking lot. Some newbies with young hikers might like this more as you can quick hike...
I love hiking Pictured Rocks in October because most of the tourists are gone, the temps have cooled, no biting flies, the leaf color is wonderful and I swear...
Okay, So there I was, at the Corner of M82 and Elm Ave. I was on my way to the dump (well okay, the Croton township transfer station). As I drove onto Elm, I...
Hey all, has anyone hiked Oak Openings down in Ohio? I'm thinking of doing it soon and wondered if anyone had any experience to share? It's about 16 miles so...
It's an 18 mile loop. I used to go down there for the 'Boy Scout' Run - a no-frills 'race' around the loop (which was created/maintained by the Boy Scouts). I...
Andy and I really enjoyed hiking Oak Openings a couple years back. Lots of diversity. I think we hiked about 12 miles before we wore ourselves out. Be wary...
Hello, fellow hikers As spring/summer are just here, a few of us did a series of backpacking trips. There is how it went. Manistee River b/p, most of...
If the SAR doesn't find you fast enough, it appears a lawsuit is in order. Geez. http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2009/06/16/9811671-sun.html Dennis ...
Very unfortunate! I have known people who have contemplated lawsuits after disability or death. It seems that because of their financial situation, they feel...
There was a book which I read several years ago about some sailors or explorers who were abandoned down near the southern coast of the US and they made their...
Hello! Oak Openings is very nice. It has some of the most endangered habitat in the entire Great Lakes region. Be aware that there are many, many fire trails...
