2024: Central MI U.P. Trip

2024 took us to Kitchitikipi Springs, Fayette Historic State Park, and a walk out as far as we could without swimming into Lake Michigan (Big Bay De Noc) just for starters!  We then visited Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Cathedral Rock, and the 300’ Grand Sable Dunes, Lake Superior cliff jumping & swimming, and did a Laughing Whitefish Falls climb.  Further north we did Presque Isle Park cliff jumping, and hiked the under water land bridge to Little Presque Isle in Lake Superior.  After a movie night at Meyer's camp we canoed in Seney Wildlife Refuge on the Manistique River.

2023: Southeastern Hill Country Trip

2023 started with a fantastic rafting trip on the New River (up to class 5).  We then hiked up a mountain seeing Crabtree Falls the entire way, and climbed to the tippy top of Rag Top Mountain finishing with a rock scramble that was quite challenging followed by a punishing 5 mile hike back down the mountain on a rocky path.  We also got in a hike to a falls on the parkway, and hiked down to an old railroad tunnel 1.25 miles long and back, and took in the amazing Luray Caverns.  Friday took us to Washington DC for a day tour, and Saturday we had a skeet shooting contest followed by some R&R.  It was quite the challenging week!​
