On the Trail With Kristen
The landscapes are getting hillier and prettier as I get further North which presented some nice photo opportunities today. … We always check the IAT Trail atlas prior to hiking each day and give or take a mile or two we’re usually pretty close. Today, however was a different story. Donny, my program manager (he also drops me at my Trailhead and drives to the day’s endpoint and hikes in to meet me part way) predicted the day to be just around 11 miles … Short by 5 this day! Oh well, it IS fun to see the little red lines and curves tracking me as I traverse Wisconsin’s landscapes!
Unfortunately this heat rash is still plaguing me if I’m on the trail after about 12:30, when the sun gets intense in the sky.
Other than that, it was a fun segment which mixed the roads in with 3 different trail segments. Nice!
