HAHA. I'm getting pumped up!! I think I'll pack everything up tonight. Too bad about the spring weather rolling in saturday...this winter has been a total flop. Can't catch a break! Oh well, I can pack shorts
Well, the river never freezes so we could start a new tradition with a polar bear plunge. Time to crank up the heat in the hot tent and pull out those SpeedosHAHA. I'm getting pumped up!!

Don't worry Mark, there will still be plenty of snow for that winter fix.
Yeah it will be ok and looks like 3" of fresh stuff. I just hate above freezing temps...I'm hot-blooded. Speedo will not be packed LOL! I'm looking forward to checking out the river; looks like some nice scenery form the photos I've seen.Well, the river never freezes so we could start a new tradition with a polar bear plunge.

I can almost swap my 0° quilts for the 20° set on this one. But I won't just to be safe. Lower MI getting hit hard tomorrow night, so I could be arriving later if the roads are bad.
I also just realized I need to stop near Grayling on the way home to take down a deer stand...that won't be fun.
Yes they would be welcome!
Thank you!

I am going to head on up there today, and miss the snow in south MI.
I won't be at Big Boy Friday
See you all when you show up

I should be getting there around 8:15-8:30 on Friday if the roads are cleared up by then, which I expect they will be. If they are still a mess, I may not make it. 4 hours there normally. With bad roads, make it 6 or 7 hours, so going Friday wouldn't work, and going early Saturday morning to just leave early Sunday doesn't seem worth 8+ hours of road time.
Going to bring some cookies, paper towel & bacon, as the main meals appear to be taken care of. No pulk, so my 40L backpack space is going to be very tight. I'll see if I can strap my insulation on the outside. No snowshoes yet, so I'll bring my X-Country skis and make the call whether I need them when I get there.
Crossing my fingers the weather plays nice this weekend and hope to see everyone there!

I'm also hoping the plows get on it...they always do a good job on the highways so I'm feeling OK. This is going to be a good one!
