We started our journey in Milwaukee on August 26th, 2017 and reached the shores of Lake Superior on September 19th, 2017. Enjoy some pictures and stores from the trail!

Day two! Still in Milwaukee County.

Enjoying the shores of Lake Michigan at Kohler Andre State Park!

We used the Fox River State trail to connect us into Green Bay. Lots of gravel trail made it one of our favorites!

Enjoying our Thanksgiving dinner (instant potatoes, stuffing, and cranberries) at and Air BnB we stayed at. The homeowners lived near the trail and let us pitch our tent on their land!

One of our favorite finds on the trip! This fox snake was right in front of Julia's face and she didn't even realize it (literally).

Julia resting on the trail. Every 5 miles we would take rests to make sure we were staying hydrated energized. This helped us break up the days into tolerable increments.

One of our backcountry campsites on the Brule River. This river separates Wisconsin from Michigan!

One of our favorite campsites in Iron River, Michigan. If you ever get up there, sleep under the starts next to Golden Lake. The northern lights were visible this night!

Fortunately, we ran into many pubs along the way where we connected with locals about our project. Many of them offered us a warm place to say and a warm meal. Very thankful for everybody we met! This is near the end at Bergland Bay Bar.

Enjoying the overlook at Lake of the Clouds on our second to last day!

Our last night camping gave us rain all night long. We had a short day so most of our spare time in the evening was spent under our tarps in the Porcupine Mountains.

Very thankful for our friends from the film crew that came and gave us a re-supply in Iron River, Michigan. We all ordered Spotted Cows without realizing we weren't in Wisconsin anymore.

Very thankful for our trail angels that met us at the end!

Soaked our feet in Lake Superior to heal them from roughly 340 miles of hiking!
