Re: What are your 2012 tripping plans?
In the spring, I am planning to head up to Clark Lake State Park for a couple of days of paddling around there. Maybe a day hike over to a place that has been on my want to see list, High Life Lake. After that, head east towards back home and spend a few days seeing how deep into the Mccormick Wilderness I can paddle. If there is any time left, head over to Big Island Lake Wilderness. This trip is so far solo (unless I can convince any of my friends to join me).
In the summer, spend a couple of days on the Manistee River.
In the Fall, just my annual Pine River day trip in November.
Thats it so far. Being my second season with a canoe I'll stay closer to home and visit a few places I have been meaning to get to.
