2006 Backpacking Trip

I'm looking at going to the Hoist Lakes foot trails at the Huron national forest in Michigan. The sections of the trails that I would like to hike are a little over fifteen miles long in total. It is a loop trail. The topography is pretty tame; unlike sections of the North Country trail that I did earlier this year or the hellish mountain climbs in the Monongahela national forest's Otter Creek wilderness I slogged through in 2004.

I have already started a directory, updated my "To Do" list, created an itinerary and gathered some initial forest information (links and PDFs). Not sure when to go. Maybe late April early May. Hope I get my radio back by then.

Think I'll finally buy that L.E.D. flashlight I've been pining for the last year. Getting excited...
