    ***looks like the general consensus is for the Manistee River Trail on the 25th***

    Folks,

    To follow up from the very successful Meetups last year with the MichiganWisconsin and Colorado crew I propose two more winter trips at the Pictured Rocks Trail and Manistee River Trail.

    I am based in mid Michigan so can car pool if it suits folks.

    Proposed dates
    21st-23rd March
    4-6th April
    11th-13th April

    Please reply here with what date and location you would prefer.

    Cheers,

    Stephen

    I totally could do April 4-6, and I'd be up for either Manistee or Pictured Rocks. I need a trip up north anyway, so it would be nice to head to my old stomping grounds!

    Manistee would be nice because then CharlieDog could join us…………….he likes Manistee a lot!!

    Hi Jen,

    Great to hear from you, let's pencil in that date so.

    Are dogs not allowed in a Pictured rocks?

    No dogs allowed on the trails at Pictured Rocks. :(

    Shoot, I'll be out west for both of those April weekends.

    Anyone interested in an early spring MRT hike, let me know!

    Hi Sumi,

    That's a shame dogs are not allowed.

    Hopefully we might see you on one of the March trips.

    Y'all had me scared for a minute. I'm doing a hike at Pictured Rocks, and I thought you said no Doug's allowed!

    Sumi, could you go any later? I can't do the 11th, but as we get further into the semester I have options…..

    Do you have any preference on dates and location?

    I'm pretty flexible on the date, as of now. I'd prefer somewhere in the lower peninsula, though, to keep my drive time reasonable. It takes me about 4 to 4 1/2 hours to get to the MRT or JRP.

    I am thinking the MRT anyway for the first trip.

    Yes! Second half of April and into May looks pretty wide open for now.

    Folks,

    It sounds like most folk would prefer trips in the Lower Peninsula so I propose 2 trips on the Manistee River Trail.

    April 4-6th
    April 25th-27th

    Cheers,

    Stephen

    Locale: Southwest

    Mar 21 and April 11 wkend I could do. Pictured rocks is close for me so that is easy but would consider MRT also as it is good stomping ground memories!
