Here's where I've ended up for the night. Near Petoskey, at a potluck dinner and campfire with the Jordan Valley 45 Chapter of the North Country Trail Association.

I didn't get here in time for the hike, but people certainly looked happy coming in from the trail

Friends, old and new. Always things to talk about with trail folk.

More good food than seemed possible.

Have to take the group picture. And yes, the barn is actually along a "connector" piece of the North Country Trail (a roadwalk).

After dinner, the campfire was lit.

And we sang a bit- practicing the North Country Trail song before the conference at the end of the month.

Tired- but oh! so good! A bunch of the "girls" are camping out in the barn for the night.
(BP -5 and counting)
