Folks, It's been 2 years since the very successful BPL snow shoe Trip to Pictured Rocks. Location will be either Manistee River Trail or Hoist Lakes. I am free the 1st and 3rd weekend of the month. Reply back here if interested. Cheers, Stephen
Oct 29, 2015 at 6:15 pm #2234930I'm in. Would prefer the 1st or 2nd week.
Oct 29, 2015 at 6:17 pm #2234931Hi Andy, Those dates are perfect for me :-) Have you got snow shoes, if not I can loan you a pair.
Nov 13, 2015 at 2:53 pm #2238026Yawn…. Anyone interested? No snow shoes for me. I'd guess there won't be to much snow, but could be wrong. Maybe a good excuse to order some. Still could use a good winter jacket to.
Nov 13, 2015 at 2:56 pm #2238028No replies at all Andy. I can loan you some snow shoes as have a couple of cheapo pairs I got in Meijer.
Nov 13, 2015 at 4:32 pm #2238047AnonymousInactiveIf you ever have any in January, i'd be game if i could find cheap plane tickets ahead of time. But the date would have to be very set for me to consider and preferably at least a 3 day thing. I'm looking to experience some more extreme cold, and you seem like a cool guy Stephen.
Nov 13, 2015 at 8:32 pm #2238086Hi Justin, Thanks very the kind words Justin :-) It would be great to have you along, maybe if folk know we have a visitor from afar then more may attend. I am open most weekends in January so far (until wifey starts booking stuff) For flights MBS (Saginaw) is close to me, Flint is an hour away and Detroit is 2 hours.
Nov 14, 2015 at 4:48 am #2238120Stephen, I should be available the first week of December..
Nov 14, 2015 at 5:19 am #2238121That's great Rob.
Nov 14, 2015 at 8:01 am #2238129I would actually really like to do a northern winter BPL trip. I have always wanted to go but even living in the northern Midwest for 40 years I've never been…. Not sure if I could make it happen, but if you guys pick a weekend maybe I could try to make it work???? Flights seem awfully cheap after the holidays. And February would be easier for me….perhaps if anyone just wanted to do a second trip, too……
Nov 14, 2015 at 8:26 am #2238133Hi Jen, I can easily do a trip each month. All of February I am free so far except for the weekend of the 12th as I will be big 40.
Nov 14, 2015 at 10:48 am #2238159aw stephen, you're just a kid! Well cool then! Let me see if I can grab a 3-4 day weekend and block it.
Nov 14, 2015 at 11:31 am #2238163Cool :-)
Nov 17, 2015 at 3:12 pm #2238734AnonymousInactiveThanks for the info Stephen.
Nov 19, 2015 at 11:30 am #2239068Folks, Winter is getting close, first proper snow for my area is due this weekend.
Nov 19, 2015 at 2:57 pm #2239099How does the first weekend in February sound?? I could fly out Thurs or Friday and fly home Sun or Mon, depending on what your schedule and the route would dictate. I've got it temporarily blocked…..
Nov 19, 2015 at 4:15 pm #2239110Sounds good to me Jen, let's tentatively go with that weekend for the Feb trip. Happy days :-)
Nov 30, 2015 at 2:11 pm #3367870Folks,
This weekends trips is not going ahead.
Dec 1, 2015 at 9:42 pm #3368191AnonymousInactiveThe more i think about it, i doubt i’ll be able to make it out there though part of me would like to.
I have family in MA, so to get my cold fix, i’ll probably go to the Whites in NH, which is a bit closer and can get there cheaper.
Dec 2, 2015 at 5:09 am #3368235Totally understandable Justin. If it was me I would do the same.
Dec 2, 2015 at 3:58 pm #3368328No problem, Stephen, if it doesn’t work out it doesn’t work out. Thanks for your organizing efforts!
Dec 2, 2015 at 4:20 pm #3368331Cheers Rob :-)
Dec 2, 2015 at 9:38 pm #3368377AnonymousInactiveIf i had or made more money (or if it was closer), i totally would come out Stephen.
Most of the time, i don’t mind being poor, but sometimes it sucks.
Dec 3, 2015 at 8:11 am #3368432Cheers Justin :-)
I must get to Maine myself some day.
Dec 6, 2015 at 10:50 pm #3369080Did someone say Pictured Rocks? :) Yo Stephen, you still hanging around this side of the Atlantic?
While I don’t think we can make it over to the mainland, we’re planning to go to either Pictured Rocks or the Porkies sometime around December 19-22. I’ve done far too little camping this past year (life gets busy) but have a renewed determination to get out there.
