Oh ya. On Friday after Sandy got home from work....
|
...we packed up and headed to our favorite Gardner Rd camping spot! |
|
It rained some over night. |
|
We don't mind the weather if we have Nueske's bacon. |
|
I didn't get any pancakes, but I did
get to sample some bacon. |
|
Let's go! We hiked out on the grassy 2-track
to finish up the blazing we started last week. |
|
Lookin' good! |
|
I love a picnic. Arly says he remembers
these from when he was a kid. |
|
Hunting was good, as usual. |
|
I picked up lots of weed seeds again. |
|
Arly wants to make sure hikers know what trail they are on. |
|
Finally, we relax in camp. |
|
Adventures like this, do wear trail mutts out. |
|
The sun peeked out in the evening, and we
had a starry sky. We didn't stay up to view any meteors. |
|
MMM, fire roasted steak and veggies. |
|
I'm ready to go to bed. |
|
The next morning, we headed to the same spot, but
this time walked in on "Pattison's Road." |
|
We saw fresh wolf scat, and this big fella's print. |
|
This is just off the 2 track where you'd hike west
to the Middle Branch of the Ontonagon. |
|
Who should we meet here, but Laura and Blaze.
They were from Duluth MN, and on an
8 day adventure here. Maybe we'll see you later! |
|
This is looking much better, |
|
We found a family of birds nesting right on the trail. |
|
Could they be oven birds? |
|
All done! Or, at least, the gas was all gone... |
|
We met up with Laura and Blaze again!
They'd got off the trail and wasted 1/2 the day so we gave
them a ride east a ways. But seeing them again is a cause for celebration -
a trip to The Legendary Rousseau Bar. |
|
I've been here a few times before.
This place is trail mutt approved. |
|
Have a great trip! Wish we could come too. |
