| Janet on Messenger: September 3, 2021 -- Andrew and I will be going on a backpacking trip on Isle Royale National Park. Ferrying over Saturday September 4th and ferrying back Monday September 13th. 8 days hiking with 8 of my HikaNation friends. No internet service on the island. We leave tomorrow and will be staying at a friend's cabin before and after the trip. Return home Wednesday September 15th. Goal is just to make it daily to the campsite. Look forward to sharing our story upon our return. And YES, 9/6/21, Andrew will be celebrating his 65th birthday with a bunch of strangers in the woods. Is that love or what? (Janet's Page 2 (this page) covers September 3 - 6; Janet's Page 3 covers September 7 - 13.) | |
 September 3, 2021 -- Otter Lodge, Copper Harbor, Upper Michigan. This is where all 10 of us met before our backpacking trip on Isle Royale. | |
