TL;DR: I went to the Manistee National Forest for a quick backpacking trip last night.

Trip Report

I got to the trailhead at E 58th St around 4pm on Sunday. It was a quick one mile hike into the forest following the North Country Trail.

Just past Bigelow Creek, in The Pines, is where I made my camp. The weather report was clear – no rain – so I slept under the stars. I made a small fire, enjoyed a dehydrated meal (Peak Refuel White Chicken Chili), and listened to nature.

I woke up a bit chilly due to the temperature being 36 degrees (F). My gear is good to that temperature and my mistake was that the underquilt was not close enough to my hammock. I also should have worn socks.

I woke up feeling intensely refreshed. So refreshed that I skipped breakfast and tea and went straight to packing up camp. Until next time Pines.

Yikes. A monster in a gang of monsters.
Cases in EVERY DoJ field office.
10 new #764-linked cases per week.
Dude lived in Kaleva #Michigan, a tiny hamlet near my cousins in Onekama. #Manistee County. Given how sparse the populace up there is, they probably know him. My youngest cousin may have been in the same HS class. https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/113449007312210704

Manistee - 02JUN2024

We made a pitstop in Manistee and wandered over to these ships. They are museums, but they'd closed for the day. There were remains of an RV park - oooooh who wants to start an RV park or could this be purchased to use...
