The first 3 pics in the group were taken in an area of National Lakeshore along the Sleeping Bear Dunes, beutiful area and generally very trekking friendly although some areas have some odd rules about fires (as in no fires). The last pic was taken at a Boy Scout camp that I spend my summers working at just outside of Kalkaska. The is about 1300 actes of Private land that I generally have free run of (I have been there long enough I am almost on the inventory). Along with the private land there is several thousand acres of state forest land that adjoins the camp. Great place, lots of game, lots of trees and good water and the state is very friendly toward the trekking hobby (however I always have to explain what I am doing to any of the COs I have encountered, they just don't quite understand why we would dress that way and "play in the dirt").
