Originally published April 18, 2016 Testing the limits can be good for a person, and that is what I did yesterday when I hiked the 7 mile Blackhawk Segment of the Ice Age Trail. This was third day of hiking since Thursday, and I was a bit leg-weary to begin with. But it was tooContinue reading “Day 5 on the Ice Age Trail”

Day 4 on the Ice Age Trail
Originally published April 16, 2016 Three segments hiked, back-to-back-to-back. Three entirely different geographies. That was yesterday’s 11.1 mile hike on the Ice Age Trail.

Day 1 on the Ice Age Trail
Originally written February 26, 2016 Well, I’m home, a little sore but that’s about it. Originally, I was going to hike 10.4 miles, but I added an additional segment at the last minute of 1.7 miles, so I actually hiked 12 miles. Trouble was, that was the most difficult part of the hike, the Devil’sContinue reading “Day 1 on the Ice Age Trail”
