Um, well, last night was exciting. (one of the campers took this from her tent!
The morning was pretty cold but it was only drizzling, and that even stopped before we got to the woods. We practiced with our compasses, and then we bushwhacked a short distance to find the North Country Trail using electronic mapping apps on our phones.
Along the way, everyone was pretty excited to find some of the edible plants we looked at yesterday.
After a restaurant lunch, we came back and worked on learning some basic knots.
Everyone made a map display board to help them remember their work.
One more activity for the day- we built two solar stills. One has clear plastic and the other has black plastic. We will compare the results tomorrow.
Cathy then brought us another great dinner! It's only 9 pm, and my handouts for tomorrow are all ready, even though I decided I needed to add one more page of explanation for tomorrow. I might make it out to my tent before dark. We got that set up again. I could sleep in the house, but that doesn't seem right if I expect the campers to sleep out.
Miles walked in 2026: 164.2 (not counting all the walking from the house to the campsite and back)
Hike 100 2026: 54.3
NCT in Lake County, MI, about a mile near Ward Hills.
