Gone Backpacking...

Tomorrow we drive to Traverse City, MI where we'll spend the night (after biking a local trail there.) Monday we'll drive to Leland, MI and board the ferry for the 12 mile trip out to North Manitou Island, a wilderness isle for backpackers, and part of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Seashore. Five days later we'll return and will then drive around Lake Michigan, enjoying the Upper Peninsula and Northern Wisconsin on our way back home (places Ellen hasn't visited yet.) So there most likely won't be posts for a few days unless the cell phone magically works that far from land, in which case I might be able to post some photos with short explanations via my iPhone. Otherwise, check back next weekend for an update.
