IAT Day 16 “Day with Duke” (map 71f & 72f) 7.2 miles
As I’ve been hiking the IAT ( Ice Age Trail), one of the things I haven’t looked forward to are the paved road sections where there is no trail. But today was different … Duke joined me from somewhere on Bump Road.. I guess you could literally say he “bumped into me”… Lol Anyway, the [...]
IAT Day 13 (map 69f &70f) Bump Road WNW to Exeter Crossing – 12.5 miles
Story: Story: got going the right way today off of Bump Road, yipee! The last day I was here I took off on the trail to the left which went south when I needed to veer first east ( the way I’d come in) and then North… The weather started beautiful and the last few [...]
IAT Day 12 9.6 miles the wrong way
what was supposed to be (map 70f and 69f) – Bump Road West to Exeter Road – I temporarily skipped the last segment of the IAT that would be all paved road… Long and straight and flat. This is the Sugar River trail that the IAT utilizes and it’s pretty but again, really flat. Realization [...]

My everytrail iphone app refused to work today so I used my once beloved Trails app instead .. I still love that app but I can’t post diary stuff along the way .. thus I am adding everything afterwards… The trail today was gorgeous for the first two miles and I saw a lot of [...]
IAT (Map 77f) Day 9 Bowers Lake Road (going east) to Hi-Lo Road – 16.5 miles
Im really getting to break in my new Solomon trail shoes today! The first about 8 miles I did on the bike and on road, which isn’t my favorite. The farm country though and the back roads are beautiful! I still prefer hiking off road trail. The farmers field I had to get through was [...]

IAT (Map 84f) Day 8 Pike Lake Unit South through Holy Hill & Loew Lake – 16.9 miles
Story: I didn’t get a huge opportunity yesterday to write the story here. In fact I had had such a dramatic morning that I entirely missed the tracking of the section from Holy Hill Road on down so I’m re tracking that now. Though I enjoy being in nature to enjoy her, .. sometimes she [...]
IAT Day 7 map 82f Hartland thru Lapham on 81f – 14.4 miles
Story: Number of people today: too many! Animal of the day: indigo bunting, Waypoint 1: Through town it’s a bit of a maze but it makes the town part fun…a little poorly marked out of the park… Waypoint 2: the sign said Boardwalk closed for repairs and I could hear pounding hammers to bails ahead. [...]

May 18 Day 5 Lapham Peak (re hiked as GPS didn’t work )
Story: Red-tailed hawks, Chipmunks, toads, orioles, geese were the animals of the day. I’ve been really loving this section of the IAT. Except for the first few miles it’s been prairie and woods and gorgeous! I really needed the attitude adjustment and getting into nature does that for me. Feeling stressed? Get outside… Just had [...]
IAT Day 4 (Map 81f – 80f) Hwy 18 South to 67 TrailHead – 12 miles
Story: This segment starts with the glacial Drumlin Trail and after being in forests and prairie for 3 days the asphalt wasn’t as much fun. The last road (Waterville) was long but at least with a nice variety of hills. 10:52: stopped at an open prairie to enjoy an apple and cheese, butterflies and birds. [...]
IAT Day 1 (Map 80f) out and back 5 miles (10 miles total)
May 10,2010 This is where it starts… as I write the story here after hiking a Day 6 of the IAT. I woke up one night – at 3am – thinking about the three major US trails .. the Continental Divide, the Appalacian and the Pacific Crest … that was not a year ago.. Then [...]
