Here is a map that we can add our locations to. Obviously if you don't want to add yourself we understand, but I think at least the closest largish city would be helpful for trip organizing. Basically it is good to know where people are so we can determine ideal places for trips to reduce drive time for people..
Also if you just want to organize a meet up so you can hang out and get to know other peeps who live near by/make friends feel free to use this.
Itinerary: This needs to be discussed but ideally we would meet some time on Friday, hike a few miles in- camp, hike as far as we want on Saturday-camp, finish Sunday AM. We can hash this out in the comments.
Thoughts: While I may have put this together, there is no 'lead person' on this trip once we are out there. I assume everyone has some understanding on how to conduct themselves and how to be self-sufficient when on trail. That said, I do very much enjoy hiking with people (i actually low-key hate solo hiking)! If you don't and you still wanna be in on the trip, cool! No one has to stick with a group and no one has to keep up with anyone's pace. I've done enough group trips in my life to know how these things usually play out. If you wanna just meet up at camp at the end of the day, cool! I really don't give a hoot.
For some reason I decided to hike the entirety of the Adventure Hiking Trail in southern Indiana in 1 day. And, I did, without consequence, except that I'm walking a bit goofy today.
Had business in Kankakee, IL the night before. Drove out to O'Bannon Woods afterwards. Ate Wendy's new Loaded Nacho Cheeseburger, because fuck it, I'm burning it all off tomorrow anyhow (well, except for the resulting arterial plaque, that shit probably ain't never leaving my system). Had them substitute the spicy, crispy chicken patty for the beef. Spent the night in my car at the Rock Creek TH off Rt 462. Read most of The Complete Maus using the headlamp I thought I was going to need to finish up the next day's hike. Wrapped myself in a Warbonnet quilt. Floated off to sleep.
At daybreak I drove over to the bathrooms at the RV campground. Used the facilities, and stole some toilet paper (didn't need it). From there I checked in with the ranger, then parked at marker 309, also off 462. For this trip I used a NF daypack, 3 liter camelbak, 1 liter smartwater bottle, brought a LHG rainjacket (it drizzled on and off, but the tree canopy proved to be a good enough umbrella), a battery pack, cable and headlamp. The only food that was brought was a half-full jar of peanut butter, a block of cheese, and a couple of granola bars. I wore a merino tee , a hooded peloton 97, an old pair of Prana Zions, my favorite running socks and the shoes my feet love the most these days, Runventure 4s.
Carrying or caching water is imperative, since there are few natural water resources that you would want to purify at this time of year. Even if you plan for a longer trip than I, in which you take your time, take in the scenery, and walk down to the rivers, I highly doubt it would be suggested to purify water from either the Ohio or Blue Rivers unless it was an emergency. The few sources of water I might purify were slight. Standing water near the spur trail to the Iron Bridge. A trickle of a creek counterclockwise before the logging re-route, a natural spring either in between Old Forest Rd and 462, or between Indian Shelter and Old Forest Rd (I can look this up if asked). The inability to carry less water by intentions of purifying, leaves a mess of empty water vessels everywhere, and not only at road junctures. I opted to carry 4 liters. 1L was in a smartwater bottle so I could mix in some Zipfizz.
The terrain will be familiar to anyone with a little experience hiking southern Indiana forests. Tall deciduous trees, leaf-covered, rooty paths. Occasional rock underfoot. Many dry stream beds to cross. Personally, I much prefer Indiana forests pre and post tick season. The ranger said she has already had a few on her this year, which prompted me to take a small bottle of repellent that was already in my car, but I didn't see any. Pre and post tick season also means there are less leaves obstructing distant scenery, and more to see out on. In general, on trails such as the Knobstone, there are seldom features to anticipate, except for a favorite hollow or ridge, and the experience is more of that enclosed forest hiking. But, a fair amount of the AHT offered river views, which gave my hike a less sheltered feeling, and more to look forward to.
Like the Knobstone, the AHT has plenty of climbs and dives, without the use of switchbacks. However, we are at least infrequently granted mercy with a few switchbacks. On such a cool, moist day, this at least reminded me to consistently hydrate. In a few places the trail gets a bit messy where it overlaps with singletrack. Overall, I felt it is a well maintained trail (except for the amount of empty water vessels).
I was able to keep about a 2.8 mph clip. It was a Friday, and I only crossed paths with 6 others who were also hiking the AHT. 2 duos were going clockwise, and 1 duo counterclockwise. There are many shelters, both for picnic-ing or overnight-ing, which were decently maintained, and offered a nice place to air out my feet as I snacked. With the extra sunlight, I was able to finish the hike around 7pm without needing to use the headlamp, allowing me to stuff my face in nearby Corydon. A supplier of mine recommended eating at The Overlook, but it closes early, especially for a Friday (I think it is Amish owned).
Hey there! I am an industrial design student and am currently researching hiking and backpacking with the goal of designing modular outdoor gear. If you are willing, please fill out this survey about your experience backpacking! It would be super helpful for my project. Thanks!!
On Nov 10th, u/wevebeentired, u/vivaelteclado and myself gathered at the highway 21 trailhead for the Taum Sauk section of the Ozark Trail. We left two cars and took one car to the highway A trailhead and started hiking from West to East.
We had great weather for this trip, daytime highs in the upper 50s or low 60s and nighttime lows in the mid 30s. No rain. One thing we quickly discovered on this trail was the tread, it was challenging. Lots and lots of rocks of various sizes and many of them were not anchored to the ground very well so they moved as you stepped on them. To add to the challenge we had a thick covering of newly fallen leaves, so seeing the rocks was a challenge. Most of us move between two and three miles per hour on easy tread, our speed was below 2 miles an hour for this trail due to the rocks and the leaves and the unstable footing. You had to watch almost every step on this trail.
Day 1: highway A trailhead to Goggins Mountain Trail intersection. 9 mi. We were quickly introduced to the frequent ups and downs and the unstable footing of this trail. We also quickly discovered the beauty of the trail and the great views from the glades. We were unsure of the water supply on this section of the trail so we hiked out with two or three liters each. Fortunately at mile marker 6 what was listed as a spring behind a "house" had great water and we were able to get enough for our dry camp for the evening. The "house" is being generous, it was more of a falling down horizontal shed, but the spring itself was flowing strongly and was a beautiful classic mountain spring, popping right out of the rocks. Our campsite for the night was behind a glade and we had beautiful views of the sunset and the Milky Way that evening.
Day 2: Goggins Mt trail camp to Taum Sauk Creek camp. 17.5 mi. Up at 6:00, on trail by 7:00. A cold start to the morning. The first part of the day spent in the Johnsons Shut Ins State Park. Most of the trail was well-blazed but some important intersections were not marked at all. The turn to cross the Black River had no marking whatsoever. We overshot it and had to check our GPS to backtrack and find the crossing location. The Black River Valley was beautiful and the crossing was slippery and cold. After the Black River crossing we eventually hit the Scour which is the site of flash floods from a reservoir up the mountain which occasionally overflows and scours the valley. You could see the strength of the water cascading down the mountain and scouring everything in its path. We grabbed some water and stopped on the hillside for a nice sunny lunch. The rest of the afternoon was beautiful hillsides and lovely views across the rolling valleys. We pulled into camp along the Taum Sauk Creek right at sunset.
Day 3: Taum Sauk creek camp to highway 21 trailhead. 8 mi. All of us had long drives to get home this afternoon/evening so we were eager to get back to the cars by noon. We were up at 5:30 and on trail by 6:30. This section had some huge rock outcroppings including the Devil's Tollgate and the Mina Sauk waterfall which unfortunately was dry. My right knee was killing me today and we opted to take a brief road walk between the Ketcherside fire tower (just past mm 30) and the Russell trailhead. The other two continued on trail and I road walked back to the highway 21 trailhead.
This was a great trail with a good challenge and wonderful views across the Ozark Valleys. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good weekend trail.
I am hoping to take my son on a hike and float trip in 2 weeks. Maybe like a 15 mile hike, then float back to the start, or near it at least. I don't own any rivercraft, but have been rafting and kayaking on class III/IV. My son is 10, and is a strong swimmer, but I don't want to take him on anything aggressive. Does any know of a good hike that would take me to a put-in where I could rent a raft or canoe that I could take back to the start and would be picked up by the place I rented it from? I would prefer places in Wisconsin, UP, or Indiana, but I would take suggestions in Missouri and Illinois. I posted in the r/rafting community, but am also posting here in hopes of receiving good hiking recs that also have a float component. Thank You
I'd like to get out for a weekend jaunt somewhere in October or early November. Would any of you be interested in doing a group hike? I'm open for locations. Throw out some ideas!
Hi everyone! We’re a university student-run startup from Montreal that aims to develop an all-new, effective, and eco-friendly mosquito repellent. We’d love it if North American campers and hikers could share their thoughts and feelings towards the current repellents they use. We’ve created a quick 5-minute survey linked below and would be grateful to hear from you! As well, feel free to leave your thoughts below :) Thank you so much in advance!
The US the Appalachian trail on the east coast and the Pacific Crest on the west. It’s time the was another major trail (or 2) through the center of country.
What’s ur guys experience with single wall tents and condensation while camping in the Midwest? I want to get the Durston x mid pro to drastically lower the weight of my pack but I’m just worried how bad the condensation will be with a single wall tent in the humid Midwest.
There is a plan to build a copper sulfide mine right next to the west entrance of Porcupine Mountains State Park, which has the largest old-growth forest in the midwest. The mine would be so close it would literally drill beneath Park property. It is also right next to the Presque Isle River, and only a few miles from Lake Superior, which is 10% of the world's surface fresh water. In other words, it's an absolutely terrible place for a mine.
Metallic sulfide mining extracts metal from sulfide-bearing ore. In this case, the metal is copper. Sulfides are a byproduct -- the left-overs when the copper has been extracted. When sulfides are exposed to water and air they create sulfuric acid – basically, battery acid. This contamination is called acid mine drainage and lasts for thousands of years.
Only two weeks ago copper was denied status as a critical mineral by the U.S. Geological Survey. So there is absolutely NO NEED to be fast-tracking a mine next to so many important ecological and recreational resources. Porcupine Mountains State Park is the largest State Park in Michigan, it is the largest old growth forest in the Midwest, it is the only State Park that is designated wilderness, and it needs to be protected.
This is not a protest against mining in principle -- of course extracted minerals contribute much to important technologies that we all use-– however this particular mine would be in an ATROCIOUS location, due to the proximity of so many fresh water sources and a one-of-a-kind old growth ecosystem.
Unfortunately, locals here are not well informed. I'm hoping you good folks on the internet will sign this petition to give it some steam: https://chng.it/jGmxFw6RM8
I have 10 days I can take off for a backpacking trip. I'm in SW wisc area. I'm willing to drive 8 hours.
I biggest worry is mud.
I haven't had much enjoyment in the spring on the superior hiking trail or maah daah hey trail.
Pictured rocks and isle royale have been enjoyable for me in the spring. But I'm open for other ideas.
TIA
I'm headed to Madeline Island, WI for a family get together over the 4th of July week and I was kicking around the idea of doing a quick overnight on one of the other islands. Has anyone made a trip to Stockton Island or Oak Island? Any advice/tips?
Are any of you folks interested in doing a group hike to the Maah Daah Hey Trail in western North Dakota? The Maah Daah Hey Trail is 145, mi through the Badlands of North Dakota. It's a really unusual place for wildlife and geography. I'm hoping to go in late April or early May to go before the bugs and the heat. The trail is multi-use but apparently there aren't a whole lot of people using the trail.
Hey. I'm going to be heading up to a beautiful section of the Ice Age Trail in Taylor County Wisconsin on October 14th. I'm planning to do an out and back of about 60 mi. Two partial days on Friday the 14th and Monday the 17th and two full days on the 15th and 16th. If you'd like to join me, comment below.
Easily my favorite site of all sixteen in the park.
Sunset on Saturday night as seen from the calf-deep waters of Lake Michigan.
Waymark’s 35L EVLV is the backpack I take out most often on overnight trips.
Hawk Vittles’ Southwest Lasagna is my favorite meal so far from one of my favorite backpacking meal brands - they make it with actual lasagna noodles!
Looking out eastward toward Varney Point.
Sunrise on Sunday morning.
The approach trail to the site is so long and lush that once I made camp I didn’t see a single passerby hiker the rest of the day.
The rock beach at 12 makes it a lot easier to keep your feet and shoes clean (the most popular site in the park, 16, has a sand beach).
Staying this close to the water means a lot of exposure to wind, but also a lot of access to rocks, so this site is both the cause and solution to your wind problems.
If you camped any closer to the lake you’d probably be swimming in it.
Headed westward on the Big Carp Trail and down the escarpment!
As much as I like coming here in the fall to enjoy the colors, it’s still just as scenic when it’s all green.
Enjoying a small campfire at my site (BC-7).
Best part of staying at BC-7 was being right on the banks of the river, able to soak my sore feet in the cold water after hiking the ten miles to get here.
The Big Carp River.
Site BC-7 sits just above the river from the largest waterfall in the entire park (Shining Cloud Falls). It’s also adjacent to a nice canyon that keeps the area fairly shaded.
Just some love for my custom internal frame backpack and fanny pack, both made by a company based in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (Chicken Tramper Ultralight Gear).
I prefer the Big Carp River (BC) Trail over the Escarpment (ES) Trail. It may have less views of a lake, but it also has a lot less people!
Easily my favorite stretch of trail in their entire park.
You won’t find any passerby hikers in this picture - they’re probably all over by that tiny little lake (Lake of the Clouds) in the background!
The Porcupine Mountains are my favorite place to enjoy being outside. Period. Views like this are why.
Campsite mise en place.
Hawk Vittles dehydrated backpacking dinners are solid and their single size portion is more than enough for one adult. I tried the Sweet Italian Peppers, Sausage, Onions and Pasta.
This was my most ambitious solo hike to date (10 miles down on the first day and the same ten miles back up the escarpment the second day) so the campfire was a short & small one.
The river’s water level was low enough for me to skip across the exposed rocks and walk across from bank to bank.
I might have seen two or three groups of backpackers walk past my site in the daytime hours, and other than that, I had this section of trail all to myself.
Many people regard BC-7 as one of if not their number one favorite campsite, and between the seclusion and the access to the river, it’s now become one of my favorites, too.
I started using a Zpacks Duplex this season and love it. The symmetrical design consistently pitches well (unlike the Altaplex I had the season prior) & it’s a palace for 1 person!
Has too much time passed to do a trip report on the r/ulmidwest Ice Age Trail group hike that we did almost two months ago? No, I don’t think so. Here we go!
Where:r/ulmidwest Group Trip on the Ice Age Trail Harrison Hills section, Lincoln County, Wisconsin.
Distance: About 32 miles total as an out and back. No idea on total elevation change but the route was moderately hilly for the upper Midwest (we summited the 2nd highest point in Wisconsin!).
Conditions: Temps were mid-40s F to mid-60s F. Mostly sunny with some heavy rain on the 2nd night. Trail was damp in spots with some shallow standing water, but mostly dry once we got into the hillier sections a few miles in.
Lighterpack: I don’t think any of us from the trip actually maintain a lighterpack, but if anyone from the trip does and wants to add a link, let me know.
Useful Pre-Trip Information or Overview:
So u/brumaskie created a post back a few months back about planning a group trip for the r/ulmidwest subreddit on the Ice Age Trail in Wisconsin. As someone who wanted to attend the February r/ulmidwest trip to Big South Fork but couldn’t make it, I jumped at the opportunity to attend this one. r/ulmidwest with two group trips in the first half of the year? The subreddit is back in business, baby!
Of course, the pre-trip planning had some challenges. The original plan was to do a route in north central Wisconsin through the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, but large portions of that route were unpleasantly muddy, if not fully underwater, in the spring. So we switched to the Harrison Hills section a bit further east. As the trip got closer, what was originally a dozen interested hikers dwindled down to 4 or 5, and I got worried the trip would be canceled altogether. Thankfully, a few people stayed committed and we went forward with the trip. Much thanks to u/brumaskie for doing the planning and making it happen.
The Report:
Day 1, Friday, May 20: ~12 miles of hiking. Alta Springs Rd. trailhead to Chain Lake.
On Day 1, I woke up early in the morning wondering why I committed to driving so far for a weekend trip. Luckily, u/ElodOndKondTas was willing to carpool and having the company (along with plenty of coffee) made the drive a lot easier for me, so big thanks for that. We made it to the Alta Springs Rd. trailhead a few hours later and u/brumaskie and u/spider-e were already there getting bit by the mosquitoes, so credit to them for being better prepared. We introduced each other, threw on the packs, u/ElodOndKondTas almost forgot his food bag, and then we hit the trail.
Within the first couple miles, we encountered a few sections of shallow standing water on the trail that required us to tread carefully. This made us a little worried that the trail would be unpleasantly wet throughout the hike, but those fears were assuaged when the trail climbed to the ridge tops and stayed mostly dry up there.
Because this section of the Ice Age Trail allowed dispersed camping along the trail, we didn’t have a clear plan about where and when to stop for the night. We did encounter a surprise trail shelter about 4.5 miles in. The local trail chapter had built a fresh, new trail shelter that wasn’t even marked on the latest available maps. However, it was barely 5:00 p.m., and we had some longer miles planned for the 2nd day, so we decided to keep going for a couple more hours.
After highlights such as Lookout Mountain, some scenic ponds, colorful spring wildflowers (and more), and various ATV encounters, we eventually decided to stop for the night at the designated campsite at Chain Lake. I’m glad we decided to hike later into the evening to that spot, because it was a beauty of a site (also the tents). Exactly what I hope for if I’m hiking in northern Wisconsin. All in all, we covered about 12 miles after 3:00 p.m. on the first day.
Day 2, Saturday, May 21: ~16 miles of hiking with a turnaround point at a remote bar. Chain Lake to Fisher's Bar back to the trail shelter near Bus Lake.
The goal of Day 2 was to hike to a bar on a highway in the middle of the woods, get an early lunch, and then turnaround and start hiking back towards the Alta Springs Rd. trailhead.
We woke up Saturday morning, broke camp, and started the hike to the turnaround point/bar near the “populated place” of Parrish, Wisconsin. We got there at 10:00 a.m. and Fisher's Bar had already been open for an hour. Okay well then. The bartender poured us some beer and fired up the grill for an early lunch. Since I was in Wisconsin, I had to get some cheese curds, and this bar had a variety called Fair Cheese Curds, which apparently aren’t as heavily breaded as regular fried cheese curds. More fat, less carbs? The perfecting backpacking fuel!
The other guys got burgers and a beer or two, and then ATV riders and anglers started showing up, so we decided to leave before the place got too crowded. The bar was at the intersection of a couple ATV trails and decent fishing streams, which probably helps explain how it survives in such a remote location.
For the rest of the day, we backtracked on territory we had covered on the way out. While it may seem a tad underwhelming to do an out-and-back backpacking trip, I think it allowed us to notice things we may have missed before. We were able to stop and get more nice photos of the plant life (and more), scenic views (for the Midwest), and generally nice shots of the trips, while not feeling too rushed about getting in miles. And then there was this cool porcupine scurrying up a tree.
We eventually made our way back to the first marked campsite next to Bus Lake, but because it was accessible to vehicles, it was a bit trashed and heavily used. We decided it would be better to the hike the extra half mile to the aforementioned trail shelter. While the trail shelter was very well constructed and still had a like-new woody scent to it, the shelter actually wasn’t long enough for people to sleep in without their feet hanging off the end! So if you were like over 5 feet tall, this shelter doesn’t really work for you. Seems like a bit of a design flaw. In the end, only two of us slept diagonally in the shelter, one in a hammock, and another just set up his tent. Of course, the low percentage chance of rain actually came to fruition in the night and u/spider-e’s tent has some minor flooding.
Not much else to report from Day 2 except we had more time to sit around in camp, make a fire, and have a nice chat about #trailshelterdesignfails. Apparently, the 16 miles we did on the day was the longest u/spider-e had ever backpacked in a day. Well done, lad!
Day 3, Sunday May 22: 4 to 5 miles with a drive back home. Trail shelter near Bus Lake to Alta Springs Rd. trailhead.
The plan for Day 3 was pretty simple: hike back to the cars and drive home. The rain had stopped by morning, so we lazily packed up gear and hit the trail with plenty of time to spare for the drive. Thanks to the previous night’s rain, the wet spots we slogged through on the first day were slightly wetter than before. Back near the beginning trailhead, we were able to investigate one of the springs that actually gave the name to Alta Springs, and it definitely was a nice little spring. I filled up my water bottle with some fresh spring water for the drive home.
Back at the cars, we patted ourselves on the back for a trip well done and gathered together for a group photo. Then we said goodbye and made sure to eat some Culver’s on the drive home. Thanks for coming, everyone!
Gear Notes: Not much to report, gear wise. While no one really had a SUL kit that would attract groupies on Instagram, everyone was very conscious of minimizing the gear they brought. A few things do come to mind:
u/brumaskie had an amazing MYOG pack with a carbon fiber V-frame, adjustable height, and essentially full chest harness that I’ll invite him to talk more about if he wants to. He also had a Mountain Hardwear Airmesh shirt that gives Polartec Alpha Direct a run for its money.
u/ElodOndKondTas had an unbelievably light DCF hammock setup from Hammock Gear.
u/spider-e tried out cold soaking for his meals and it seemed to work out well for him and put the weight of our cooking setups to shame.
I was happy with another trip using my YAR.gear Mountain Drifter 38L. The Gossamer Gear Fast Belt is a solid alternative to a simple webbing hip belt, but it doesn’t have substantial enough padding to distribute a great deal of weight to your hips.
Additional Thoughts: I wasn’t sure what to expect with the Ice Age Trail and it was a learning experience. Even though the trail is over 1,000 miles, there doesn’t seem to be many stretches that are suitable for more than a few days, unless you are okay with long road walks and limited camping opportunities. The Harrison Hills section, while mostly dry and scenic in spots, was very multi-use, with many ATV trails, recent logging activity, and unmarked roads. The blazes were well marked, so we didn’t get lost at any point, but without the frequent blazes, it would have been confusing. Lastly, the Wisconsinites told me these northern sections of the Ice Age Trail aren't heavily visited by hikers and it showed.
Overall, I was happy that I made the trip and met some other UL enthusiasts. It was enriching to meet others than also have embraced the ultralight philosophy and learn a few things from them. I hope the other attendees can say the same. Despite the amount of subscribers at r/ultralight, I don’t actually meet that many people going ultralight on Midwest trails. I look forward to more r/ulmidwest trips being organized in the future.
As described in the title, I am planning a thru-hike of the Kansas portion of the ADT. My biggest logistical hurdle - besides water - seems to be camping location. From what I've researched, designated campgrounds are few and far between; the same can be said for towns, especially the further west you go. Dispersed camping is illegal in Kansas.
Does anyone have any advice or experience in regards to this? Many thanks.
We're meeting at 3:00 p.m. Friday at the Alta Springs Road parking area. We'll hike the Harrison Hills segment and part of the Parrish Hills segment. This is an out and back route.
We received some really good information about trail conditions on the sections of the Ice Age Trail that we were planning to hike on May 20th through the 22nd. I made some calls to the trail coordinators and the Medford Ranger station and talked to them about trail conditions. They all agreed that portions of the trail that we were planning to hike on are going to be quite wet and muddy. Long slogs through standing water and mud are not good for morale or the trail.
We've come up with two options to change the location of the hike.
Trade River > Straight Lake > Straight River, maybe McKenzie Creek.
OR
Harrison Hills.
The Trade River segments are not available online, so I will attach some PDFs from the guidebook here:
When you open the guidebook PDF, On the left column look for page 8 and 9 for maps. Go down to page 11 for a description of the Harrison Hills segment.
If you are planning to go on this trip, please add a comment below and let me know which segments of trail you would like to do.
I hope to see you on the 20th.
The IAT also has an online trail map viewer. The link for that is below.
I am planning to hike the Maah Daah Hey Trail in western North Dakota (Medora is the closest town) starting Memorial Day weekend and looking for potential hiking partners. I have been to the area but never hiked this trail. It is 144 miles through the ND badlands with long dry stretches and lots of rattle snakes 🐍 . The shuttle could cost up to $500 and can be split by up to 4 people. I might see if I can get us a ride on one end or the other to save half. If this excites you and the pace/mileage (see below) is in your range let me know, I would love to discuss it further.
Details:
Hiking
144 miles ~17,500 ft gain
I plan to average around 20 miles and 2,500 ft per day. 7 or 8 days depending on the timing with the shuttle. We can resupply around mile 45 in Medora so probably 5 day max food carry. Water seems to be the biggest challenge. It might be a matter of stringing together 20 mile dry stretches between campgrounds.
Travel
I will be driving from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. You could fly into Bismarck (closest) or Fargo or Sioux Falls which might have cheaper flights and I can pick you up. The trip will probably end up being 10 days total with travel. I can be flexible within a few days on either side but it needs to be the week of Memorial Day
Me
I am 33. My pronouns are he/him/his. I am married with two small children. Please don't murder me. Creepers, con-artists, and Nickelback fans need not apply.
